David Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the Government's public health priorities in relation to passive smoking. [188518]

Miss Melanie Johnson

We have completed a major national public consultation on the best ways to improve people's health, including what can be done to tackle secondhand smoke.

We are considering the many responses we have received. These will inform the White Paper on improving health that will be published later this year.
