HC Deb 29 July 1998 vol 317 c241W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will introduce further measures to allow licensed taxi drivers to exclude passengers who wish to smoke from their vehicles. [53581]

Ms Glenda Jackson

When Parliamentary time permits, we intend to propose a change in the law to enable licensed taxi drivers to designate their vehicles as "no-smoking cabs", thereby relieving them of the obligation to carry passengers who insist on smoking.
