HC Deb 20 January 2000 vol 342 c551W
Mr. Crausby

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to reduce smoking in his Department. [105799]

Mr. Straw

Since 1997, smoking has not been allowed in the main central London Home Office buildings, except in designated smoking rooms. National "No Smoking" campaigns are regularly promoted by poster displays, leaflets and other publicity material. "Stop Smoking" courses and displays (organised in conjunction with QUIT) have been held to help staff who wish to give up smoking. A similar programme of events will be run this year.
