Private Business 16. Liverpool City Council (Prohibition of Smoking in Places of Work) Bill [hl]— 17. London Local Authorities (Prohibition of Smoking in Places of Work) Bill [hl]— It was reported by the Chairman of Committees, pursuant to Private Business Standing Order 91 (Special circumstances), that he had received reports on the bills from Miss Melanie Johnson MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health, in respect of the Promoters’ assessment of the compatibility of the bill’s proposals with the European Convention on Human Rights which stated the following: “I believe the promoters have undertaken such an assessment. However, I believe that in the following respect only the Bill may not be compatible with Convention rights. I see no need to dispute their other conclusions. The exclusion from the prohibition on smoking in places of work that applies for domestic premises in Clause 4 (meaning of “place of work”) is drawn narrowly. For example, long term residential accommodation which is the sole home of an individual may fall outside the definition of “domestic premises” in Clause 4(2), even where it is the individual’s sole home and only occasionally a place of work. It follows that there might be circumstances in which a total prohibition on smoking tobacco in such accommodation could constitute a disproportionate interference with the right to respect for private and family life within the meaning of Article 8 of the Convention, having regard to the fact that smoking tobacco is a legal activity. I consider that the Opinion on compliance with Convention rights submitted by the promoters does not address this issue suYciently and that paragraphs 7 and 16 of that Opinion appear to be inconsistent. I am unable to conclude that the Bill is compatible with the Convention”. 18. London Local Authorities Bill [hl]—It was reported by the Chairman of Committees, pursuant to Private Business Standing Order 91 (Special circumstances), that he had received a report on the bill from Mr Keith Hill MP, Minister for Housing & Planning and Minister for London, stating that, in the Minister’s opinion, the promoters have failed to undertake an adequate assessment of the compatibility of their proposals with the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of clause 78(1), clauses 117 to 119 and clause 120 and giving his reasons for this opinion. Save for these clauses, he considers that the promoters have undertaken a full assessment of the compatibility of their proposals with the European Convention on Human Rights and sees no need to dispute their conclusions.

Public Business 19. Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Bill—A bill to make provision for the appointment of Commissioners to exercise functions presently vested in the Commissioners of Inland Revenue and the Commissioners of Customs and Excise; for the establishment of a Revenue and Customs Prosecutions OYce; and for connected purposes was brought from the Commons, read a first time and ordered to be printed.
