HC Deb 25 February 1957 vol 565 c127W
Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Health what communication he has received from the Standing Medical Advisory Committee or the Central Health Services Council as to the relationship between cigarette smoking and cancer of the lung and as to any action to be taken accordingly; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Vosper

At their meetings in December last these bodies repeated the advice already given to my predecessor. Like him I propose to ensure that the public are kept informed of all relevant information as and when it becomes available.
