HC Deb 12 November 1973 vol 864 cc62-3W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek powers to ensure that Her Majesty's Customs and Excise investigates the health hazards of cigarettes containing substitutes for tobacco before allowing such products to be sold to the public.

Sir K. Joseph

I understand that the powers of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise to make regulations under Section 4 of the Finance Act 1970 relate to revenue enforcement.
