These amendments fit into a similar range to those that I mentioned before. Through our round table and other discussions, I understand that these amendments are agreed to.

Amendments agreed to.

Amendment (by Mr Moore ) proposed:

That the following new Part be inserted in the Bill: Page 6, line 22:

" 'part 1A-point of sale displays

'3F. Restrictions on point of sale displays

At a point of sale display of tobacco products-

(a) the products may only be advertised or displayed in accordance with this Part; and

(b) no tobacco advertisement for the products may be displayed (or broadcast) other than as permitted by this Part.

Note: Paragraph (b) is inserted to emphasise the effect of the prohibition of tobacco advertising under s 10 other than at a point of sale. A display of a tobacco product in a shop is likely to be a 'tobacco advertisement' within the meaning of the definition in s 3D. This is due to the text and graphics on the package of the product, or on cartons of the product.
