Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on British Pubs.


British Pubs

There is another issue that my hon. Friend has not yet mentioned but which has been devastating for many pubs and clubs—the smoking ban. It is not the ban per se that is the problem, but the heavy-handed way in which it has been introduced in the United Kingdom. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is ludicrous that the only way in which a licensee can provide an indoor smoking room for his or her customers is if they happen to operate on a boat?
