These sub-committees are no longer actively meeting following a letter on 14 May 2013 confirming the Welsh Government’s intention not to seek an amendment to the Smoke Free Premises Regulations.
Remit
The National Assembly for Wales’s Enterprise and Business Committee and Health and Social Care Committee have each established a sub-committee to take evidence from interested parties on the Smoke-free Premises etc. (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2012. The sub-committees will join together to consider evidence at the same time.
The amendment creates an exemption from the smoke-free requirements for performers, and will apply where: the performance is in connection with the making of a film or television programme; the artistic integrity of the performance makes it appropriate for the performer to smoke; there are no members of the public viewing the making of the television programme or film; and there are no children present in the part of the premises where the performer would be smoking.
