§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the cost to the National Health Service of smoking-induced diseases; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth Clarke[pursuant to the reply, 6 December 1984, c. 270]: I regret that because of a typing error the current estimated cost to the National Health Service in England and Wales of diseases attributable to smoking appeared as "about £120 million a year" instead of "about £170 million a year".
