HC Deb 09 March 1970 vol 797 c214W
52. Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the effect of the increased production of filter cigarettes on the incidence of lung cancer; and what co-operation on research on this matter he has arranged with manufacturers.

Mr. Crossman

It is impossible to give any precise estimate of effect the increased production of filter cigarettes has had on the incidence of lung cancer. I am watching the results of all research being carried out on this subject.
