HC Deb 16 July 1982 vol 27 cc493-4W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the wearing of tennis clothes bearing the colours and logo of the Kim brand of cigarettes by the winner and other contestants in the recent ladies tennis championship at Wimbledon constituted a breach of the voluntary agreement on cigarette sports sponsorship; if he proposes to raise the matter with British American Tobacco, the manufacturers and advertisers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

At my request my officials contacted British American Tobacco about this apparent breach of the voluntary agreement immediately the Wimbledon championships closed. I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as I have completed my inquiries.
