I note that you are trying to relax the smoking ban. I would like to tell you of my annoyance with this ban. I run a small village pub The Black Prince in Gwent. Most of my regulers are 60plus years of age and having spent most of their lives down the pitts breathing in all kinds of dust, soot and muck they are retired and their simple pleasures in life now is a pint and a smoke. You have no idea what it like to watch these men have to go outside in all weathers just to have a smoke. Tom my oldest customer is 83 and has smoked all his life and now he has to sit outside my pub in sometimes freezing conditions risking phnomonia and christ knows what else type of exotic flu just for his little pleasure of smoking surely this cant be right.let the lawmakers explain to me how this law is workink to protect the health of the nation
Smoking ban-social engineering with devastating results.Every pub lost, means a home gone and loss of largely womens and students employment.The habit of budgeting for a couple of nights in convivial atmosphere now replaced,for same cost,by 2/3 bottles of Scotch drunk steadily every night ,silently in the home. i am seeing this increasingly(work out these new health costs!)The critical mass of older drinkers influencing by example young people-gone.Smokers give up on THEIR PUB ,friends follow ,drugs move in,more regulars disappear, choas and squalor, pub closes .Loss of pubs ,i believe has been a factor in binge drinking-instead of meeting in the pub prior to night out easier to drink in someones house where you can smoke and get’tanked up’then head for town.Impact on social clubs of ban-devastating- loss to community and loss of jobs especially in entertainment culture in these establishments. What a disaster the ban has been.M.OToole,sociologist social observer and non-smoker.(where are all the old ,familiar faces?)
I cannot understand why the people of this country accept any rule the government care to throw at us, what’s happened to freedom of choice. I think we are the only country which is sticking to this ban. Gibraltar supposedly under “British rule” sell food in pubs and you can have a cigarette while eating your meal if you wish. with our weather this rule was an absolute disaster for the pub trade, they tried to say pubs were closing because of the economy, what nonsense, obviously if we had a referendum smoking would be brought back in but it is the same as capital punishment it wont be brought back. let the people decide not these !!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is another thought, less pubs less policing, thats what they want, people to sit at home.
tonight watching nothwest tonight i saw way the welfair state wants reform one woman 4 kids and she gets 30000 per year it is disgusting. when people working hard are lucky to get 15000 peryear it all wants stopping .
if you hanent payed in you should not draw out only if you ars very disabled

Dear Mr Nuttall
Now that Fairfield Maternity Unit is officially going close what do you intend to do about it!! You said the Conservatives would maintain it(A false promise).I suppose your reply will be ” due to the state of the country that Labout left us in we have to make cuts” Well Mr Nuttall that wont wash with the people of Bury.
I suggest now that you should resign your seat and let the people of Bury vote for what we NEED to keep ther unit open because this closure will cost lives and god help this goverment if anything should happen to any of my grandchildren and due to the longer travelling put of us all.
Can I remind you of quotes from your page
“”Andrew Lansley has reviewed the latest figures for the number of births across Greater Manchester and today said “If I am Secretary of State for Health after the election Maternity and Children’s Services will be maintained at Fairfield and I will ensure this happens. In the long term there will be no change to this without the consent of G.P.’s in and around Bury who will in our reforms be responsible for commissioning local services”.
The choice for voters in Bury North is clear: Vote Labour and these services will be axed from Fairfield. Vote Conservative and if there is a Conservative Government the Maternity Department will be kept open.”"
R Culley Bury

R Culley
Dear Mr Culley,
The decision this week was taken by NHS officials. I totally disagree with the decision. I still believe that the NHS should respond to the wishes of local people and I can not believe that a town the size of Bury does not warrant a Maternity Department.
David
Dear David Nuttall,
Now that an e-petition has been set up in aid of retaining services at Bury, are you prepared to champion the cause and promote the petition to save vital maternity services? The link to the petition is: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/5140
Hi,
I have signed this e-petition.
David
Mr Nuttall, I note your response saying that you have signed this petition, thank you for that. Would you be prepared to step out into the public eye and campaign on behalf of local residents in light of this? After all, you are the MP for Bury North
Dear Mr Nuttall,
Further to the post of ‘R Culley’ I would like answers with regards to the Maternity services you promised the people of Bury you would save. You have not fulfilled your promises to the people, promises that would have ultimately have saved lives.
Your profiteering tactics to enter into Parliament on the back of an empty promises will not stand up at the next election, the people of Bury North believed that you would save the services you promised to save, a promise you not only failed to keep but did so as soon as you entered Parliament.
The people of this town deserve answers and an apology,
Yours Sincerely,
Mr C Barrett
Mr C Barrett please could you explain what you mean by ‘profiteering tactics?’
Do we have yet another self serving MP on our hands?
AMG – firstly apologies for the late reply.
Mr Nuttall promised the people of Bury that he would SAVE maternity services before the general election. After that election he has gone back on that promise. Do you not believe that this was used as a campaign tool, that Mr Nuttall might actually provide what the people want? Only for Mr Nuttall to go back on his promises the week he entered parliament…
i feel compelled to write, ( i live in suffolk and the Con’ party isn’t my first choice ) but i must say well done, just seen you on BBC24 in Parliament with your speach about the EU REFERENDUM DEBATE, very well put and i see you and others have some common sense,
i thank you and others from all in the house and the voters who signed a pettion.
I listened to your introductory speech in the H C today. Please do not give up if your attempt this time is not successful.

Having been shopping Manchester recently and finding the temperature in vritually every store unbearable, I have come up with a great idea that could save the country millions on the Nation’s energy bill.
Within each business a member of staff is appointed as Energy Monitor as part of their duties – in a similar way to that of the First Aider (and maybe given a small salary increase as recompense). This person will record the daily temperatures and meter readings within the building and advise management on thermostat control. Perhaps one-day courses could be set up nationally to train such people and maybe inspectors could visit occasionally and give tax incentives.
I, in fact, do this myself in my home during the cold winter periods and see evidence of savings made.
Just wondering what you think of the reports that your Governemnt will be introducing a minimun price for alcohol drinks ?
Hi,
Well as always I will wait to see how accurate the speculation is before reaching a conclusion but in general I am not in favour of Government intervention in the free market without good reason.
David
Perhaps if I asked the question in a different way so there is no need to see whether the speculation is accurate or not – because all I wanted was your view, as Bury’s representative, on the precise issue. That is – do you support regulation to enforce a minimum price at which alcohol is sold ? Simple yes or no would suffice.
NO
There you are Jimm. You can’t beat that for a straight answer !
Dearb David,
People say the smoking ban is here forever, the debate is over. This, in my view is totally wrong for this is a law that discriminates against 25% of the population, breeds open hatred of a minority faction, open verbal and physical abuse toward smokers, denormalisation, stigmatisation etc – and all this in a so called democratic country.
David, may I ask the simple question as to why there is no freedom of choice? Do non smokers HABVE to enter a smoking pub? Do non smoking staff/those that dislike smoke HAVE to work in a smoking pub?
At present, licesees have no option but to be non smoking but 80% want choice as they have seen their annual turnover disintegrate in the face of this evil ban. Reliable people have assessed the costs to this country thus far at £19bn-just how much more good money (that we can’t afford) are we going to throw after bad?
I have just received my letter from HMRC informing me that our Child Tax Credits are to stop from April 2012. So overnight £45 is cut from our monthly budget. This isn’t beer money or take away money this is money for our children. This government decide to change a limit penalising who? The wealthy? No. Those with expendable income? No. How do you justify these actions, penalising hard working families? Apparently we are “All in this together !” Really, are we? So with the cost of things rocketing in price under this government, food, fuel, heating, electricity and everyday family necessecities, things that we CAN’T do without (having cut all non essentials already) we have to stomach another cut from this’ in it together’ government. Why do the hardworking families get the ‘little’ help we currently get cut or can I say ‘taxed’ and others keep their bonuses and credits?
Dear Mr Nuttall,
I wish to thank you publicly for your prompt and courteous reply to my email asking about your views on redefining marriage. I am glad that we agree that marriage is the union of one man and one woman and should not be redefined.
Regards,
Mrs Glenys Chew
Hello Mr Nuttall,
I read with some dimay this morning of the governments plans regarding the new ‘not even slightly stealthy’ alcohol tax. I then went to work where it was certainly the burning topic of the day. Now I seriously doubt any of my co-workers are involved in pre-loading binge drinking at 0100 around Bury town centre as they are (in the main) mid thirties to fifties sensible married people with children & a mortgage, and in this present financial climate, given 10% rises in utility bills and an annual pay rise of less than a half of inflation for the 6th year running they cannot afford to go out any more. I doubt they are unique in that.
They (seemingly universally) do though, like to go home after work & sort dinner out & get children to bed & then relax with a well earned couple of cans or bottle of wine. Lead brick doesn’t even begin to sum up this legislation. In the course of my day I talked to process operatives, office staff, managers and 1 director (who was furious).
The consensus was that this was the most ill thought out, badly targeted, blatent tax grabbing in living memory. Prevention & cure are all well & good but this is pure prevention which has no chance whatsoever of working. The targetted (trouble causing) section of the population doubtless live in the family home & couldn’t care less about cost. The rest of us bear the burden.
Given the demographics of the diverse group of people I spoke to (about 300 in all) & the adverse reaction that I recieved, this amounts to a major problem for your coallition come election time. On a personal note, I don’t go out much myself anymore as I also can’t afford to. But I suffer from heartburn & find that 2 glasses of wine works far better than £4 worth of Zantac – & is also cheaper.
Not sure if I’ll get a considered reply, but
Thanking you in anticipation
Andy
David,
My brother has MS and has been claiming ESA since he was made redundant. He has applied unsuccessfully for scores of jobs. He was told that his ESA would stop as he had received it for over a year, but he could apply for an income based allowance. He has done this, but as his wife works 20 hours a week, earning £160, they have been disallowed this. His wife is working as many hours as she is able due to illness. They have 2 children, so receive child benefit, but have been told that their tax credits will be stopping.
How can this is right? He would gladly try any job he was given the chance to try. Due to his illness he cannot spend all day sat down, or stood up! I have never seen him so depressed, which isn’t a good frame of mind to be in as a job hunter. He is waiting to hear if he can get a reduction in his council tax, but even with that, with the increased cost of living, he has no idea how he will make ends meet. They are a proud family, and so careful with the money they have, and it is heartbreaking to see them in this situation.
Yes, we may have needed our welfare and benefits system changing, but this is an example of just how damaging the governments changes can be. I am also aware that there are a lot of people worse off than them. It leaves me feeling quite ill.
