The tobacco industry will continue to fight a rear-guard action against this legislation. I appreciate the convention is that regulations are laid before both Houses. However, this does not necessarily oblige that there be a debate on them. Due to the large number of statutory instruments passed by the Government, few of them come on to the floor of this House. I recall only one over the past 12 months. Will the Minister give some indication as to when he will be introducing the relevant regulations to copperfasten this legislation?
