HC Deb 22 December 1971 vol 828 c386W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what further action he proposes to discourage smoking, in view of the evidence contained in the report, Young Smokers in Portsmouth Now, a copy of which has been sent to him.

Sir K. Joseph

The Government will before long be considering the question of smoking and health in the light of an inter-Departmental examination of its implications. I will write to the hon. Member at the appropriate time.
