CONDUCT OF LOBBYIST MR CHRIS WHITEHOUSE (No. 2)

Early day motion 958, tabled 15 January 2014 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 3 members.

That this House is baffled by the objection in a recent e-mail from lobbyist, Chris Whitehouse complaining about the wording of an Early Day Motion tabled by the hon. Member for Newport West 22 years ago; invites hon. Members to consider the wisdom of Mr Whitehouse's complaint against the following Early Day Motion, That this House welcomes the revelation in the magazine, Family Doctor, in a letter from Christopher Whitehouse who writes that the greatest hidden cost of a ban on tobacco advertising would be the future burden of paying the pensions and healthcare costs of those low earners in the future who will no longer die from tobacco-related illness; and further invites the Government to deny its opposition to a ban on tobacco advertising is based on a desire that people on low wages should die young.
