Smokers should ‘wear a jumper’
Smokers should ‘wear a jumper’
OLDHAM’S Environment Minister proved he is always on the look out to save the planet.
Phil Woolas warned the Commons Environment committee that there had been a tenfold increase in patio heaters at licensed premises since the smoking ban came into force.
And the eco-friendly Oldham East and Saddleworth MP suggested smokers could wear a jumper when going outside to light-up.
He told an amused committee: “The official line to take when outside is wear a jumper.”
He made the comments when giving evidence to the committee about Britain’s housing plans.
Housing Minister Caroline Flint told the committee that, despite the current fall in house prices, it would be unwise to revise the targets as the underlying need would not go away.
She said: “In the current climate we expect fewer to be built than last year ....these targets are challenging but long-term need will not change.”
