smoking in the united kingdom
on 14 february 2006, the house of commons first voted on the amendment to the original compromise plan, to extend the ban to all enclosed public places except private members' clubs. the amendment was carried with a large majority. mps then voted on a further amendment to ban smoking in all enclosed public places including private members' clubs. again this amendment gained significant support and was carried with a large majority. this therefore replaced the earlier successful amendment which would have allowed smoking only in private members' clubs. the legislation was passed by the house of lords, allowing a total smoking ban in enclosed public places to come into force in england.
