§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the free offer of 100 king size cigarettes, a copy of which has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Brent, South, is consistent with his agreement with the tobacco industry on sales promotion.
§ Dr. OwenAt present voluntary agreement with the tobacco industry provides that there will be no advertising to send for free samples of cigarettes in the Press or periodicals and that all promotional letters and leaflets containing an offer should include a prominent statement to the effect that the offer is being made only to smokers aged 18 and over. The leaflet containing a free offer of cigarettes sent by my hon. Friend appears to be consistent with the voluntary agreement.
