HC Deb 29 January 1990 vol 166 cc14-5W
Mr. Amos

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what provisions are being made in all the offices and other places under his Department's control for the convenience and comfort of non-smokers; and if he will make a statement on his Department's policy for non-smokers.

Mr. Sainsbury

Since early 1989 a smoking policy has been in force in all FCO and ODA premises which prohibits smoking at meetings, in shared offices (except with the consent of all occupants) and in most common areas. The aim of the policy is to provide smoke-free working conditions for all staff who want them.
