Any person with management responsibilities for a F1a vehicle that is smoke-free by virtue of regulation 12(1) of the Smoke-free (Exemptions, Vehicles, Penalties and Discounted Amounts) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 shall be under a duty corresponding to that in Article 7(1) of the Order to make sure that at least one no-smoking sign is displayed in a prominent position in each compartment of his vehicle.

In paragraph (1)—

• “compartment” includes each part of a vehicle which—

  1. (a)

     is constructed or adapted to accommodate persons; and

  2. (b)

     is, or may from time to time be, wholly or partly covered by a roof;

• “no-smoking sign” means a sign which displays the no-smoking symbol; and

• “roof” includes any fixed or moveable structure or device which is capable of covering all or part of a compartment, including any canvas, fabric or other covering, but where a vehicle is engaged in conveying persons, it does not include any fixed or moveable structure or device which is completely stowed away so that it does not cover all or any part of a compartment.
