  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting Aye accepted 
  for consideration a 
  <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/110/amend/60214m01.htm"> New Clause</a> (first on the page) of the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/110/06110.i-v.html"> Health Bill</a>.  The technical term is that the clause was <i>"read a Second time"</i>.   </p>
  
  <p>This New Clause outlined circumstances where the <i>"appropriate national authority"</i> (eg local government) could create regulated exceptions to the smoke-free law.  These exceptions would be limited to: </p>
  
  <p class="indent">(a) 	any premises where a person has his home, or is living whether permanently or temporarily (including hotels, care homes, and prisons and other places where a person may be detained),</p>
  
  <p class="indent">(b) 	... any premises in respect of which a club premises certificate (within the meaning of <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2003/30017--e.htm#60"> section 60 of the Licensing Act 2003 (c.17)</a>) has effect.</p>
  
  <p>In the next vote, <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2006-02-14&number=164"> Division 164</a>, the MPs voted to delete part (b) of this clause under consideration.  And in their third vote, <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2006-02-14&number=165">Division 165</a>, they voted to actually insert the clause into the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/110/06110.i-v.html"> Health Bill</a>.  </p>
