§ Mr. Francis Noel-Bakerasked the Postmaster-General if he will now prohibit the advertising of cigarettes on television.
Mr. BeanAs my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Health has said, the Government have decided that it would be right, as part of its health campaign, to end the advertising of cigarettes on television. I intend to give the Independent Television Authority a direction to this effect after consulting with it about the date when it is to come into force.
