Smoking Bans On London Transport

EDM number 471 in 1990-91, proposed by Roger Sims on 13/02/1991.

That this House congratulates London Buses Limited following the introduction of a no smoking rule on all of its buses from 14th February; notes that this rule, along with the ban on smoking on London Underground and on rail journeys of 30 miles or less on Network South-East trains, means that the only public transport passengers travelling in London who are not guaranteed smoke-free air are those who travel in cabs licensed by the Public Carriage Office; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to introduce legislation that will allow London's black cab drivers to prohibit smoking in their cabs if they so wish.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
