HC Deb 07 March 2003 vol 400 c1297W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what policy his Department has adopted on smoking in the workplace. [100952]

Beverley Hughes

Smoking in the main Home Office buildings in central London is not permitted except in designated smoking rooms. The policy extends to other buildings outside central London, but is subject to local accommodation constraints for example, in rented buildings smoking may be banned by the landlord or major occupier.

National No Smoking campaigns are regularly promoted. "Stop smoking" courses and displays have been held to help staff who wish to give up smoking.
