There is another problem with the partial ban. A disabled person—registered or not; it does not matter—who has a debilitating respiratory disease may feel entitled to use measures in the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and take a case against a landlord or licensee who enables smokers to use their premises. The disabled person may feel discriminated against by not being able to use those premises because it could further damage their health. Does the hon. Gentleman agree with that assessment?
