Smoking In Work Places

EDM number 225 in 2003-04, proposed by David Taylor on 08/12/2003.

That this House welcomes the call from the presidents of the Royal colleges for the Government to bring forward legislation to ban smoking in the workplace; notes that at least a thousand preventable deaths still occur every year as a result of passive smoking and that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke; is concerned that three million workers in the UK are still exposed to secondhand smoke in their workplaces every day and that those at highest risk of exposure are workers in the lowest socio-economic groups; notes from the recent comments of the Public Health Minister that the Government has yet to abandon completely the failed voluntary approach; and concludes that, in order to ensure that workers, children and other vulnerable groups are no longer involuntarily exposed to secondhand smoke, the Government should take inspiration from the Irish Health Minister Martin, New York Mayor Bloomberg, Prime Minister Clarke of New Zealand and other far-sighted politicians around the world and legislate to end smoking in the workplace without further delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
