Not really - Westminster is a Royal palace and treated very differently by health and safety legislation (it may even be completely exempt, IIRC). The smoking ban is being introduced as H&S.
Don't get me wrong, I think that exemption is an outrageous anachronism and needs to be tackled in its own right. But until it is, issues such as the smoking ban will unavoidably be affected by it.
