HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 cc291-2W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to enforce the agreement with the tobacco industry that all advertisements for tobacco-sponsored sports events shall include health warnings.

Mr. Macfarlane

I refer the hon. Member to my answer of 15 June to my hon. Friend the Member for Dumfries (Sir H. Monro) in which I announced publication of a new voluntary agreement with the tobacco industry on the sponsorship of sport.—[Vol. 25, c.235.] Included in this agreement is a provision for the use of health warnings on cigarette advertisements, which is to come into effect by 1 January 1983.
