Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which of his Department's premises do not operate a no-smoking policy.

The Home Office supports the right to work in a smoke-free environment. The Health Act 2006 and similar laws in Scotland and Wales ban workplace smoking.

Home Office staff must not smoke or use e-cigarettes anywhere on Home Office premises including:

• buildings, vehicles and land – this includes all walkways, access areas and car parks
• outside entrances and exits of buildings
• private vehicles parked on Home Office premises
