Health Bill — New law against purchase of tobacco on behalf of children — rejected — 12 Oct 2009 at 20:30

The majority of MPs voted against considering a new clause for inclusion in the Health Bill, which would have added a new offence into Section 7 (Sale of tobacco, &c. to persons under sixteen) of the Children and Young Person's Act 1933, which said:[1]

  • A person commits an offence if he buys or attempts to buy tobacco on behalf of an individual aged under 18.
  • Where a person is charged with such an offence it is a defence that he had no reason to suspect that the individual was aged under 18.
  • A person guilty of such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.

The discussion was partly concerned with the fact that the government had -- on the day of this debate -- claimed to have published some long awaited regulations on this matter and emailed them to members.[2]

These regulations are not on the web under draft statutory instruments for 12 October. These draft regulations were also not in the Library or the Vote office.[3] And the emails containing the draft regulations, which were in answer to this proposed clause, were sent halfway through the debate.[4]

This issue of regulations not being available even for a Parliamentary debate about them didn't make it into the press.[5]
