§ Mr. Paul MarsdenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department 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. [125152]
§ Mr. StrawI am satisfied that my Department's policy, under which smoking in its main buildings in London, Croydon and Merseyside is only permitted in designated smoking rooms, is working satisfactorily. 99 per cent. of these offices do not allow smoking.
