HC Deb 13 June 2000 vol 351 c589W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on(a) the effectiveness of his Department's no-smoking policy and (b) the proportion of his Department's offices that do not allow smoking. [125156]

Mr. Blunkett

The Department for Education and Employment restricts smoking to designated areas. This effectively provides a non-smoking working environment for staff. All DfEE Headquarter buildings restrict smoking in this way.
