Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.
Health Bill
The hon. Gentleman is making a compelling point. I got involved in this campaign many years ago, because I believed in the protection of workers’ health. I joined the Labour party because I thought that protecting workers’ health was one of our fundamental principles. Is not this also about changing the culture? That is why it is important to take the clubs out as smoking venues: we want to change the culture of how people perceive their leisure and their fun. It is important to have smoke-free leisure and smoke-free fun.
