Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.
Health Bill
May I make this point before accepting further interventions? Those clubs are non-profit-making organisations in which the members make the decisions, just as people make their own decisions in their own homes. It is therefore right to exempt membership clubs, just as it is right to allow people who continue to smoke to do so while they have a drink, provided that they are in licensed premises that do not serve food. This is a difficult judgment to make. It is one on which there has been much argument. I shall give way to the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley), then I will take further interventions.
