§ 49. Sir L. Ropnerasked the Minister of Health whether, in order actively to discourage adolescents from starting to smoke, he will consider circularising local authorities and urging them to take action along these lines.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe statement which I made in answer to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Squadron Leader Cooper) on 12th February received wide publicity and has been discussed at length in professional journals. I am sure that local authorities can be relied on to make appropriate use of this information in their health education programmes.
