Health Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Turnberg (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill [HL].
My Lords, I have a simple view of this. If one starts from the position of wanting to protect children from the effects of smoking, we should make it more difficult for them to obtain cigarettes. Vending machines are an easy way in, as we have heard. I cannot think of any rational reason why we should not get rid of them.
