HC Deb 27 April 1964 vol 694 cc3-4W
41. Mr. Beaney

asked the Minister of Health if he will take immediate steps to launch an intensive national campaign for public education regarding the causes and treatment of cancer.

Mr. Braine

The smoking and health education campaign deals with the causal connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer; and the advice given in 1953 to local health authorities about local cancer education campaigns will be reviewed in the light of the Report of the Joint Committee on Health Education which is to be published shortly.
