HC Deb 24 January 1972 vol 829 c345W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will seek to reach an agreement with the manufacturers to ensure that cigarette packets carry the tar and nicotine level of their contents.

Sir K. Joseph

The Standing Scientific Liaison Committee on the scientific aspects of smoking and health was set up to advise, among other things, on the significance to health of the tar and nicotine yield of cigarettes and how information on the yields and their significance to health could best be made available to the public; I have not yet received advice from the Committee.
