HC Deb 19 January 2000 vol 342 c434W
Mr. Crausby

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what action he is taking to reduce smoking in his Department. [105804]

Mr. Wills

The Department for Education and Employment has smoking policies in place which provide a non-smoking working environment. Smoking is restricted to specially designated areas, such as smoking rooms. Literature on giving up smoking is available in our training centres, and DfEE HQ sites have in the past offered further support for staff wishing to give up smoking through a number of health promotion events.
