Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Baroness Brown of Silvertown (Labour). It was answered by Patricia Hewitt (Labour) on Tuesday, 26 June 2007 on behalf of the Department of Health.


Smoking Ban

Question
What preparations her Department is making for the implementation of the ban on smoking in enclosed public places in England.
Answer

Since the Health Act received Royal Assent last year, my hon. Friend the Minister with responsibility for public health and officials have worked tirelessly, with local authorities, businesses and others, to prepare for implementation. As a result, I believe that going smoke-free in England next Sunday will be just as successful as it has already been in the rest of the United Kingdom.
