Is it possible fo the tablet to piggy back on a smartphone internet connection using bluetooth?

No but you can set up tethering or make your phone into a Hotspot then the tablet can connect via wifi to said Hotspot thus allowing access to the Internet

Thanks for such a prompt answer. Can you give me details of how I should proceed or are the actions dependant on the phone I use

Depends on the smartphone you have. If the phone supports tethering over bluetooth and you enable that and pair the devices you can enable the Tablet to use the bluetooth tethering under Settings -> Bluetooth -> [your phone]. Not all phones can tether over bluetooth though.
If you have a Z2 you can enable bluetooth tethering under Settings -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot.
