HC Deb 25 April 1989 vol 151 c508W
58. Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what policy his Department has adopted in regard to smoking in departmental offices.

Mr. Mellor

The Department's policy has been under review and management and representatives of staff have discussed the introduction of a reviewed policy in line with the Health Education guidelines "Smoking Policies at Work" (ISBN 090365251X). On the basis of these discussions we will be moving towards a no smoking working environment by agreement in the Department's offices.
