§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is aware that imported cigarettes are on sale without the Government health hazard warning printed thereon; and whether on health grounds, and to produce parity with British cigarette manufacturers, he will now take the necessary action to ensure that all cigarette packets on sale in Great Britain contain the health hazard warning.
§ Sir K. JosephMy agreement with the United Kingdom manufacturers covers over 99 per cent. of the packets of cigarettes sold in this country. I understand that the manufacturers have had discussions with cigarette importers and overseas manufacturers, some of which have already agreed to print warnings on their packets.
