HC Deb 18 March 1963 vol 674 c8W
47. Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Education what has been the total expenditure by his Department on publicity about the danger to health of cigarette smoking since the publication of the report of the Royal College of Physicians last March; and if he will give the expenditure during the preceding 12 months.

Sir E. Boyle

None, since the cost of the national campaign is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health. The cost of local campaigns is being met by local authorities.

48. Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Education what use has been made by his Department of television programmes, television advertisements, sound radio programmes, Press advertisements and commercial poster sites for publicity about the dangers to health of cigarette smoking since the publication of the report of the Royal College of Physicians last March; and what has been the respective expenditure on publicity by his Department in each of these five media.

Sir E. Boyle

None, by my Department. Local education authorities have been informed about posters, recordings, films, booklets and other aids which are available to bring home the facts to pupils in schools and other educational establishments.
