	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>There are no plans and no reason to stop the roll out of smoke free prisons.</p><p>The legal position on the application of the Health Act 2006 to public sector prisons has not changed, since the Supreme Court simply upheld the findings of the Court of Appeal. Indeed, the Supreme Court judgment contemplated that the government would take voluntary action as a matter of policy to fulfil the underlying purposes behind the Health Act 2006. The government remains of the view that the existing policy ambition is the right approach, given the acknowledged health harms associated with passive smoking. HMPPS will continue to roll out smoke-free provision in public sector prisons that are planned to go smoke-free, subject to operational and health readiness.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 15/01/2018 17:26:23 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 33810 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
