How does the law affect village halls or other hired premises?
The person who is in control of the premises is the person who must ensure that the premises are smoke-free. The person leasing out premises must ensure that they have a policy in place to ensure that the law is upheld. If a person hires a hall for a private party and the person leasing the premises is not present, then the person who has hired the hall and is in control of the premises would be responsible for upholding the law.
