HC Deb 29 November 1956 vol 561 c67W
70. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Education if, in view of the accumulation of evidence about the prevalence of smoking among children of school age, he will recommend to local education authorities that they emphasise to children the dangers inherent in this habit.

Sir D. Eccles

A new edition of my Department's handbook on Health Education, containing suggestions for teachers, will be published in January, and will include a passage on this matter.
