HC Deb 24 January 2000 vol 343 c60W
Mr. Crausby

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what action he is taking to reduce smoking in his Department. [105805]

Mr. Kilfoyle

It is my Department's aim, in line with wider Government policy, to create a non-smoking working environment, in so far as this reflects the wishes of staff. In fact, many MOD sites already operate a no smoking policy. Detailed guidance on smoking policy within MOD is promulgated in the departmental Health and Safety Handbook, Joint Service Publication 375, a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House.
