HC Deb 24 November 1978 vol 958 cc769-70W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he intends publishing tables giving information on the carbon monoxide yields of cigarette brands.

Mr. Moyle

Further to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend on 5th July 1977—[Vol. 934, c.469]—we expect to receive a report shortly from the Independent Scientific Committee on Smoking and Health under Lord Hunter's chairmanship. My right hon. Friends and I will then consider the advice it is expected to contain on the publication of carbon monoxide yields from cigarette brands before reaching a decision on this matter.
