I have one query that arises from the operation of the Parliament. It could create a difficulty for the staff who may have to inform a Member of a vote or other procedure. The Members would have had to leave the precinct to smoke. How would they be made aware if a division were called? As a person who stood out in the smoking area from time to time, I realise that when people have to smoke in a public place that does not send out a good image.
