SMOKE, DON'T HUNT
Bliar's philosophy obviously doesn't extend to being careful about banning hunting, just smoking and things that attract huge amounts of back bench support.
Sir - Mr Blair has stated, with regard to a workplace smoking ban, that governments have "to be careful" about banning activities (report, June 4).
How strange that he holds back on a smoking ban that would improve public health, but will allow legislation to outlaw hunting. Are there perhaps no back-bench votes in passive smoking?
