§ 38. Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Employment if the statement attributed to him in The Grocer magazine, a copy of which has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Brent, South in which he equated the health hazards of cigarette smoking with sugar in tea is an accurate report.
§ Mr. TebbitMy remarks, reported inThe Grocer magazine, were concerned with the freedom of people to choose for themselves whether or not to smoke, just as they choose whether or not to take sugar in their tea. I made no comment about the relative health hazards of cigarette smoking and sugar in tea.
