Health Bill

Proceeding contribution from Desmond Turner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill.
I am sure that my right hon. Friend is aware that many of us see a fatal flaw and contradiction in the Bill—[Interruption.]—in part 1, which is otherwise admirable in its intent. I am sure that everyone on the Labour Benches would wish to protect workers from being exposed to smoke in their workplaces, and probably all of us in the House would support that aim. Part 1 is fatally undermined, however, by providing exemptions for private clubs for instance, or pubs that do not serve food, where people still have to work and where, in practice, it is impossible to separate those working there from the smoke. My right hon. Friend must be aware that there will be serious moves to amend that part of the Bill.
