Written Answers. - Proposed Legislation.
On 30 January 2003 at the launch of the report on the health effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace I announced a prohibition on smoking in places of work to come into operation on 1 January 2004. This prohibition will apply to all licensed premises – including family-run public houses.
