Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Stamford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.
Health Bill
The Secretary of State is quite right to listen to the consultation and to propose to amend the original Second Reading formulation. However, new clause 5 contains a potential anomaly, as it says:"““The appropriate national authority may make regulations””" to provide for exemptions. Theoretically, if the Bill is enacted and comes into force before the national authority makes those regulations the absurd prospect arises that it would be illegal to smoke in one’s own home. Can the Secretary of State assure us that she will make sure that those regulations are made in time to prevent that anomaly arising?
