HC Deb 01 April 1968 vol 762 c33W
Mr. Delargy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what research has been made into possible carcinogenic factors in tobacco, particularly in the blending of TML and TEL additives.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Such research is being carried out under the auspices of the Medical Research Council and by the Tobacco Research Council, an organisation financed by the British tobacco industry. I have been unable to trace any such work on the substances named by my hon. Friend, but if he will provide me with more details I shall look into the matter further.
