Orders of the Day — Health Bill: New Clause 5 — Smoke-free premises: exemptions (14 Feb 2006)

Hugh Bayley: In November, I wrote to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and said that I could not in conscience support the then Government position of a partial ban that would not allow smoking in licensed premises where food was served. I sent a copy to my right hon. Friend the Chief Whip. I congratulate both of them on the decision that we should have a free vote on an issue that...

Orders of the Day — Health Bill: New Clause 5 — Smoke-free premises: exemptions (14 Feb 2006)

Hugh Bayley: We have heard that passive smoking in the workplace kills four times as many employees a year as asbestosis. My hon. Friend would not support for one minute a club that refused to remove flaking asbestos that posed a hazard to its staff. That would not be a matter for democratic decision for club members—it would have to be done. Why does he not apply the same standards to a health...

Opposition Day: Women (7 Mar 1995)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...such as cervical cancer and breast cancer, from which only women suffer. In fact, the big killer diseases for women are strokes, heart disease and respiratory disease. Perhaps, on National No-smoking Day, I should also mention lung cancer, which is fast catching up with breast cancer in terms of the number of women's lives that it claims each year; indeed, it may have just overtaken it....

Opposition Day: Women (7 Mar 1995)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...very rare volume indeed. It is, of course, important to focus on the causes of ill health. Like the hon. Gentleman, I am concerned that, because of promotion by tobacco companies, the incidence of smoking among young women, especially, is increasing. The hon. Gentleman asked what effect that would have on mortality rates from lung cancer among women. I suspect that we shall see the result...

Orders of the Day — Tobacco Advertising Bill (11 Feb 1994)

Mr Hugh Bayley: Does the hon. Gentleman concede that, in his report, Dr. Smee said that, in each of the four countries, the banning of advertising was followed by a fall in smoking on a scale which cannot reasonably be attributed to other factors.

Orders of the Day — Tobacco Advertising Bill (11 Feb 1994)

Mr Hugh Bayley: Does the Minister agree that factors that dissuade people from taking up smoking tend to reinforce themselves? In families where neither parent smokes, there will be strong pressure on the children not to smoke. Therefore, those children will be less susceptible to the effects of tobacco advertising. All the evidence shows that those who are most affected by advertising are those who grow up...

In a sample of young people aged between 14 and 15, 43 per cent. said that the "Reg" advertisements would make them more likely to smoke, while 5 per cent. said that the advertisements would make them less likely to smoke. The research was done long before the Health Education Authority research, and the tobacco companies...

Orders of the Day — Tobacco Advertising Bill (11 Feb 1994)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...conclusion that advertising does have a positive effect on consumption. He reviewed the position in other countries and concluded: In each case the banning of advertising was followed by a fall in smoking on a scale which cannot reasonably be attributed to other factors. Does he agree that it is possible for Conservative Members to pick odd sentences from the report, but the key factor is...

Tobacco Advertising (27 Jan 1993)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...by other means of tobacco and products containing tobacco; and for related purposes. The case against tobacco is easy to state. Each year, according to the Government, 111,000 people die from smoking—26,000 from lung cancer, and the rest from other diseases caused by tobacco. Smoking is by far the biggest public health hazard in Britain. The Government say in their "Health of the...

The Health of the Nation (22 Oct 1992)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...welcome the emphasis on health outcomes and not just health processes. Much reference has been made to tobacco advertising. When the Health Education Authority published its book last week on the smoking epidemic in the United Kingdom, it asked me to help with a local launch. At that launch, York health authority asked me to sign a pledge calling on the Government to ban tobacco...
