Proceeding contribution from Iris Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman. In the Irish Republic, one person in three used to smoke, but that has fallen to fewer than one in four. That significant change shows that the ban has been a deterrent. If a ban is good enough for the Irish Republic and for Northern Ireland, I do not see why we should differentiate on the mainland.
