Health Bill: Smoking
(written answers)
Lord Faulkner of Worcester asked Her Majesty's Government:
What proportion of respondents to the recent consultation on the smoke-free provisions of the Health Bill supported their proposals for exempting private members' clubs and public houses which do not serve food from the provisions of the Health Bill. [HL2601]
The Minister of State, Department of Health (Lord Warner):
Of the 41,641 responses to question seven in the consultation, the vast majority gave the view that since a membership club is a workplace there should be no general exemption from the legislation for membership clubs. An analysis of the results of the consultation is available in the Library.
