Health Bill [HL]

I apologise to the Committee; I was in the Chamber for the Statement on the tragic events over the weekend in Northern Ireland. I missed the proposal to move these amendments, but I support them. I want to check a couple of thoughts with noble Lords which are for information purposes. First, I presume that there are UK-wide surveys and strategies to be worked out. My other point concerns smuggled tobacco being sold in UK shops. In Northern Ireland, where there is a lot of former paramilitary activity, smuggled tobacco is not sold in shops but on street corners and other socially unacceptable places. The issue has to be looked at more broadly than just on the basis of smuggled tobacco being sold in shops.
