HC Deb 05 June 1980 vol 985 c786W
17. Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue guidance to chief officers of police on prosecution policy in connection with the sale of cigarettes and tobacco to juveniles.

Mr. Brittan

It would not be appropriate for us to issue guidance on prosecution policy to chief officers of police, who are well aware of the law relating to the sale of cigarettes and tobacco to juveniles.
