Health Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Skidelsky (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Health Bill.
Yes, but not before we make a little progress on the points raised by the noble Lord, Lord Faulkner. He said that he has a perfect right to go to a bar and have a drink in a room that is not filled with smoke. Why can he not achieve that objective through the separation of smoking rooms from non-smoking rooms, with proper extractors installed even in the smoking room? What is wrong with that compromise? Why does he want to force people outside? That is the question that I want to ask him. It is not a philosophical question; it is a very practical question which affects the logic of the Bill.
