Health Bill [HL]

The Minister mentioned the concern that shopkeepers have about this new regulation. What steps have the Government taken to reassure small businesses, specifically newsagents, about the impact of these provisions? The newsagents I have spoken to have expressed concern about the impact; they have talked about having to reach underneath the counter to reach cigarettes in future, giving children or adults an opportunity to steal from the shop. They have raised concerns about the great cost they understand there to be in this new display prohibition. These are misperceptions, and I wonder what the Government are doing to address them.
