Mouth Cancer
- Question
- My Lords, does the Minister agree that it is above all in economically disadvantaged areas that registration with dentists is low, but that it is exactly in those areas that public houses are to be exempt from the proposed ban on smoking? Does that not point up a major shortcoming in the Government’s policy on smoking?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the target groups are very much those that the noble Earl mentioned. However, this Government are to be congratulated on the Second Reading of the Health Bill in the other place, which takes place today, and which will produce a ban in 99 per cent of workplaces.
