This is a very careful and, as I am sure we will hear from the Minister, well-thought-out exemption from the operation of the Health Act 2006. There is no evidence of any abuse of sampling rooms, and we have heard from my noble friends Lord Strathcarron and Lord Johnson of the importance to the economy that these tasting and sampling rooms provide. There is no justification for this puritanical amendment and I strongly oppose it.
