Business of the House

I repeat my thanks to the right hon. Gentleman for his hospitality in his constituency. I had an extremely interesting and illuminating visit. I hope that I shall not be required to visit every constituency to which right hon. and hon. Members are gracious enough to invite me, but I found the visit very interesting. As for the free vote on smoking, I should have thought that the right hon. Gentleman would congratulate the Government on delivering more than their manifesto commitment. Governments are usually criticised if they deliver less than their manifesto commitment. On this occasion, we delivered more than we promised the electorate, which seems a wholly sensible arrangement.
