HC Deb 31 January 1978 vol 943 c104W
43. Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will institute a Government-backed campaign to publicise the danger to health of excessive drinking in the light of the evidence of the increased incidence of alcoholism in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Moyle

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Kilroy-Silk) on 23rd January.—[Vol. 942, c.488.]

The Health Education Council, with the Government's full support, launched a national campaign on better health which will, over the next six months or more, refer to the dangers of excessive drinking, amongst other things.
