Why no smoking ban for G20 summit?

It seems that for the G20 meeting hosted by Gordon Brown next week, the smoking ban will be lifted.

Is this another rule for us and one for our masters?

So much for the excuse that it was introduced to protect the health of non-smokers.

Intro:

The Government is accommodating, rightly so, the political leaders from across the globe. Yet it is not prepared to accommodate millions of its own citizens.

This concession should now be made available to all private businesses and clubs for them to adopt if they desire.

The smoking ban legislation, incorporated into the 2006 Health Act, prevents smoking in all substantially enclosed public places and all work places. The Excel Exhibition Centre in Custom House falls into this category.
