The motion
leave out from `level' to `tobacco' in line 8 and insert, `notes that, according to small shop owners, tobacco sales typically account for 25 per cent. of turnover but only account for around four per cent. of their net profits; further welcomes the long-term decline in smoking prevalence in England to 22 per cent. in 2006 and to six per cent. amongst 11 to 15 year-olds in 2007, the lowest levels since records began; and congratulates the Heart of England Co-operative on their policy of donating to charity the profits they make from tobacco sales.'.
