HC Deb 25 April 1980 vol 983 c309W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the discussions he is having with the tobacco industry; and what proposals he has put to it.

Sir George Young

No. The discussions between the Government and the tobacco industry on what should follow the existing voluntary agreement are still in progress. Both parties are agreed that the talks should remain confidential until a conclusion is reached.
