Health Bill

My Lords, I do not believe that I have to give that evidence, when the point we are making is that a workplace is a workplace. A vehicle that is driven by more than one person—whether those people are employees, partners or whomever—is being occupied as a mobile workplace which is covered by this legislation. We believe that they are then exposed to a dangerous substance, whether they wish to be or not. We are saying that there is consistency between the mobile and the non-mobile workplace. I have already given the evidence on human carcinogens in second-hand smoke, and the fact that it lingers. We cannot be sure of it being cleared in a reasonable period so that people are not exposed to those human carcinogens. That is the substance of the arguments that I set out in Grand Committee, which I repeat today. Those arguments will not change in the Government’s view, which is why we believe that the legislation should stand as drafted.
