Clearing Smoke?
It seems that the government could allow a free vote on the issue of smoking in public places, the thinking being that this will lead to a ban in all pubs. In theory market forces should make places turn non smoking. after all, enough of us would rather not spend all evening surrounded by smoke. But at the end of the day this does not seem to be happening. This legislation will restrict some people and their "right" to smoke, but it will give the rest of us the right to breath clean air. Excellent. Assuming it goes through that is…..
And just like that it seems that it will be a free vote for labour MPs. I think it already is for Tory MPs and Lib Dem MPs.
