Clause 4 - Additional smoke-free places
Health Bill
3:45 pm
Stephen Williams (Shadow Minister, Health; Bristol West, Liberal Democrat)
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that further explanation. I am not sure whether I am any the wiser, although I understand his examples, which, to some extent, match the examples in the explanatory notes to the Bill. Remarks have been made from several parts of the Room during our proceedings to the effect that as it is, the Bill is a charter for lawyers. If we do not have a tight definition of “significant”, we will simply add to the bonanza of fees that lawyers could earn from it.
