Orders of the Day: Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill (14 Jul 2006)

David Kidney: ...fire and rescue service had embarked on a community fire safety strategy, which, once the strike was out of the way, applied fully. That involved a widespread campaign to issue householders with smoke alarms and, as other Members have described, of fire and rescue service officers meeting young people and families in schools and more informal settings such as school and garden fetes, to...

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 5 - Vehicles (13 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: ...I expect the hon. Gentleman would want there to be a ban in such a situation. If a school bus were provided to take children to school for free with an adult escort, we would not want that adult to smoke in front of the children, but he or she would not be caught by the hon. Gentleman’s amendment.

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 3 - Exemptions (8 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: ...lucky to have its representative chairing our proceedings. This is a brief plea to the hon. Member for Northavon to give a little more detail about the figures for the dangers of many deaths from smoking if we proceed with the ban proposed in the Bill rather than a total ban. It is a matter that I am most anxious about and I want to get to the bottom of it. When the hon. Gentleman made his...

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 3 - Exemptions (8 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: ...or 80,000 if one includes those aged 65 and over. Perhaps it is that report to which the hon. Gentleman refers. However, I do not know what point he seeks to make, because the Bill is about banning smoking in public places. Whatever we decide today, it will not deal with people smoking at home.

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 3 - Exemptions (8 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: If the hon. Gentleman is asking me to predict how many people will stop smoking in public places but smoke more at home than they do now, I would find the task beyond me. I am happy for others to hold a different opinion, but it is not one that I would share. My point is simply that when we give figures, they should be accurate. Now that we have debated them, we are a bit closer.

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 3 - Exemptions (8 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: I had the same train of thought myself. Those landlords who continue to permit smoking will be at risk of being sued by their employees. However, the one aspect of the 1974 Act that the right hon. Gentleman does not seek to incorporate in his amendment is the section after sections 2 to 6, which says that individuals as workers have responsibilities to know the health and safety policy of...

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 2 - Smoke-free premises (6 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: ...work. Stafford, like many places, has a council for voluntary services, and volunteers and workers paid by voluntary organisations work together. I would expect the Bill to make those premises smoke-free for the benefit of all who work there, including the volunteers. This morning's example of the plumber working in someone's bathroom makes me think of all the volunteers who go to people's...

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 2 - Smoke-free premises (6 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. I would not expect the Bill to create smoke-free zones in every home simply because volunteers might sometimes work there. Perhaps the Minister can assure us about that.

Public Bill Committee: Health Bill: Clause 2 - Smoke-free premises (6 Dec 2005)

David Kidney: To assist the hon. Gentleman, I should point out that we spent rather a long time on clause 1, which deals with what “smoke-free” means. Clause 1(2) specifies that it has to have something to do with smoking about it.

Orders of the Day — Health Bill (29 Nov 2005)

David Kidney: ..., let me consider the provisions for pharmacists. I have been impressed by the willingness of pharmacists in my constituency to extend their role in primary care services, whether through help with smoking cessation, prescribing medicines—they are very much up for that—giving confidential contraception advice or helping people with long-term medical conditions to manage their...

Orders of the Day — Health Bill (29 Nov 2005)

David Kidney: I will indeed, Madam Deputy Speaker. I hope that the Bill will receive our support on Second Reading, because it brings significant measures to reduce smoke-related ill health, health care-associated infections, and the risk of the misuse of controlled drugs. It contains useful measures that will precede further reforms at primary care level. We are moving in the right direction by improving...

Public Health (13 Dec 2001)

Mr David Kidney: ..., effective presence and partnerships that deliver for their local communities, because that is precisely what we need. We can get it right, and I shall give two further examples. Nationally, the smoking cessation programme has been a great success, offering a marvellous example for us to follow in future. According to the CCPR briefing, exercise on referral is a growing phenomenon at a...
