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


Health Bill

I will not, because the right hon. Gentleman spoke for an inordinate length of time, and I want to allow others to speak. The issue of smoking in prisons has been related to the issue of what a person can do in his or her own home, but there is a big distinction. At present people cannot drink alcohol in prison: thereby the Government accept that being a prisoner is different from being in an equivalent, or an extension, of one’s own home.
