No, but I am speaking on the group. I welcome the amendment being put forward by the Minister of State on labelling. It is a practical amendment, like the amendment put forward by Deputy Sherlock on the size of the label, and I support it. The other amendments are not being pushed on the basis that the provisions in the Bill already deal with the issues relating to multiple health warnings on one label.
Following on from discussions Deputy Sherlock and I had with the Minister in recent days, we are satisfied that the provisions being brought forward and the practical measures by which he is going to implement them satisfies the requirements. We can also discuss it again on Report Stage. On the basis of the changes the Minister is introducing and his practical implementations we will not press the amendments. We will also support the Minister's amendment.
