HC Deb 12 December 1995 vol 268 c619W
21. Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make it his policy to ban smoking in all public buildings under his control. [3590]

It is the Department's policy that smoking is not allowed in public reception and interview areas of its offices. In certain other parts of our buildings smoking is prohibited and we also aim to provide a smoke-free environment in working areas.
