That the smoking ban that comes into place on July 1st does not apply to parliament.
So it's a case of "Do as I say" not "Do as I do"

I know some MPs were campaigning to have the House of Commons exempted, but I thought those plans had been thwarted?

Perhaps it was the Guy Fawkes lobby that secured the exemption...

I heard it on the radio Claw so I'm not absolutely sure. I bet it's true though. |

Not sure how accurate this is, but it suggests that smoking will only be allowed in designated smoking areas, outside http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Law/Question424824.htmlIf what you heard on the radio does turn out to be true, I'll have to volunteer to attend a few committee hearings  |

So? I'm not sure what you mean by "So" James. I gather from the punctuation that you are questioning something, If you could be a bit more specific, I will try to answer. |

If it is the case, then workers in the houses of parliament are working in conditions that are deemed unsuitable for the rest of the population.

theres such a big homeless problem in westminster that smoking outside would just lead to far too many requests of *can you spare a fag guv* for mps to enjoy a ciggie break.

Don't know why it would surprise you really mr Red...after all...all the freedom of information act stuff also doesn't apply to them...
I have to say it is rather nice to see someone, somehow, still amazed by the sheer selfishness and arrogance of the politicians in this country..I thought the last ten years would have put an end to that.

I'd guess it has more to do with some arcane convention than selfishness and arrogance.
I wonder what percentage of MPs smoke?
