Clause 4 - Advertising: exclusions
Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill

Mr Kevin Barron (Rother Valley, Labour)
I wonder why the hon. Lady is worried about tobacco specialists, as the clause does not relate to them. Tobacco companies in this country are well known to hold databases of millions of names. Those databases would provide a way round the ban on the advertising and promotion of tobacco if we did not ensure that companies could not use them to contact people directly, especially people who have decided to stop smoking.
