Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.

Health Bill

I notice that the Minister is trying to be helpful by saying, from a sedentary position, that signs will help people in such circumstances. May I relate my experience as a director of the Watershed Media Centre in Bristol? We tried to ban smoking from a large part of the café bar by, at one time, placing signs on every table. As there is a mix of where people can and cannot smoke, people use the element of doubt to ignore the signs and carry on smoking. Signs are not always the right answer.
