HL Deb 27 March 1979 vol 399 cc1572-3WA
Lord HOUGHTON of SOWERBY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will open negotiations with the brewery trade to issue a health warning in all relevant advertisements against excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks.

Lord WELLS-PESTELL

The arguments for and against such health warnings will be outlined for discussion in the consultative document referred to in another reply to my noble friend today, and the document will be sent to trade and other interested organisations.
