Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

Yes, I do because I obey the law. Parliament took a view, as it will this afternoon, and that is acceptable. However, Parliament must take a view on the basis of principle. I believe that we should adhere to the principle that private members’ clubs constitute private space and we should respect that. I do not dispute that clubs will have to be subject to regulations. That might require mitigation or a no-smoking-at-the-bar rule, similar to that of the British Beer and Pub Association.
