International Development White Paper (3 May 2001)

Mr Harry Barnes: ...used for the very purposes that we have discussed today: they could be devoted to health care, environmental protection and other forms of development. I suppose that this is a bit like the tax on smoking: the tax does not end smoking, but it raises revenue. As long as globalisation produces the gains that it is currently producing—for that is the reality—there will clearly be...

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: Cancer (13 Mar 2001)

Mr Harry Barnes: When a patient with suspected cancer visits a GP, often the GP's first question is, "Do you smoke?" That is an important question, but patients are seldom asked where they work or used to work, and in what conditions. The ex-vinatex workers group in my constituency feels that GPs and consultants should ask those questions, so that the position can be checked and action can be taken to...

Orders of the Day — Freedom and Responsibility of the Press Bill: Dioxins (Derbyshire) (23 Apr 1993)

Mr Harry Barnes: ...knows no boundaries and certainly no constituency ones. We share a common problem. For the people of Staveley the fact that they have pollution problems comes as little surprise. In the past, smoke belching out of factories and old-fashioned muck and dirt produced the problem, but now pollution is often caused by chemicals, new techniques and the unknown. The people of Staveley live with,...

Prayers: Citizens Charter (15 Nov 1991)

Mr Harry Barnes: .... One aspect concerning British Rail that I would hope to see in a charter involves a gripe of my own. On the east Midlands line if a second class coach has to be taken off the train the coach for smokers is invariably chosen, so smokers with second class tickets have nowhere to go. I am not a smoker, but such citizens have a right to smoke if they wish. My hon. Friend the Member for...

Prayers: The Gulf (Ecology) (15 Mar 1991)

Mr Harry Barnes: ...a flavour of the depth of the problem. The article refers to dramatic falls in temperature that can occur because of the sun being blotted out for long periods; the loss of wildlife; the spread of smoke; the loss of marine life, disease through contamination; soil and water contamination; and massive air pollution. We must not be complacent about those problems. There are other massive...

Leigh Environmental Ltd. (28 Feb 1990)

Mr Harry Barnes: ...(Mr. Stewart). They were purchased from Berridge Incinerators of Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, and they were used for 10 years without planning permission. That led to smells, the destruction of plant life and smoke emissions. Those problems were ended only by Nottinghamshire county council taking High Court action. Those incinerators are now operating at Killamarsh. They were installed...

Orders of the Day — North-east Derbyshire (Environmental Regeneration) (13 Mar 1989)

Mr Harry Barnes: ...with the plant. It now has a Berridge incinerator, and under old planning permission this was used at Hucknall in Nottinghamshire, creating considerable nuisance in smells, destruction of plant life and smoke emission. We need legislation on waste disposal that will allow proper co-ordination of district councils' environmental health work, county councils' licensing and planning...

Orders of the Day — Smoke Detectors (9 Nov 1987)

Mr Harry Barnes: Would grants for smoke detectors be made available to homes that were considered particularly vulnerable to fire? There are what are called Spooner houses with timber frames in Heath in my constituency. Within the past three years there has been a fatality—three people were involved—and a fire gutted such a house. In such circumstances it might be appropriate if smoke detectors...
