Clause 2 - Smoke-free premises
Health Bill
Public Bill Committees, 6 December 2005, 3:55 pm
Stephen Williams (Shadow Minister, Health; Bristol West, Liberal Democrat)
The hon. Gentleman will have heard me ask the Minister to say whether, when the Government included voluntary work in the definition, they had considered all aspects of voluntary work. By the very nature of their work, volunteers come into contact with people who habitually smoke. Running a homeless hostel would seem to be a good example. I would be interested to hear the Minister's view on how people running such hostels would be affected by the Bill.
