§ Lord Beaumont of Whitleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will take the opportunity of their next discussion with the World Health Organisation on the subject of their budget to ask them:
(1) whether they intend to publish a study of Alcohol Beverages: Dimensions of Corporate Power as commissioned by their Working Party on Alcohol Consumption, and, if not, why not; and
(2) whether they will convey to them the view that such a study would be of interest to all involved in the problems of alcoholism, and should not be suppressed.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health and Social Security (Lord Glenarthur)I refer the noble Lord to my reply of 19th March [Official Report, Vol. 449, col. 1095]. I will write to the noble Lord about this matter.
