HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 c71W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will propose banning the advertising of alcoholic drinks on television, in view of the problem of alcoholism.

Sir K. Joseph

Since the problem is not so much to prevent publicity for alcoholic drinks as to publicise the dangers of their misuse, I am not convinced that a step of this kind would be helpful.
