Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Smoke-free (Penalties and Discounted Amounts) Regulations 2007.


Smoke-free (Penalties and Discounted Amounts) Regulations 2007

As I understand it, it is for hire cars. I am not clear about that and recognise that I did not answer the earlier question from the noble Baroness about whether it is voluntary. I undertake to write to noble Lords with the answer to those two questions. Before I close, I should like to emphasise the importance that the consultation process played in shaping the detail of these instruments, particularly in respect of mental health units. I thank all the organisations, both professional and third sector, that responded to the consultation and helped us to shape this policy, which we know is now evidence based. We think that that is tremendously important. I shall certainly check Hansard to ensure that I have no more than two letters to write. If I have, I will certainly do so. On the basis of our discussions today, I hope that the Committee will endorse these regulations. On Question, Motion agreed to.
