§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the lung cancer death rate among smokers and non-smokers, respectively, at the most recent convenient date.
§ Mr. RossSince death certificates do not contain information about smoking habits, this information is not available. Special surveys of particular groups have shown, however, that the mortality rate from lung cancer is much higher among smokers than non-smokers and increases rapidly with the number of cigarettes smoked.
