HC Deb 15 January 1986 vol 89 c605W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his policy towards the acceptance by health authorities of tobacco company sponsorship for National Health Service hospitals or wards.

Mr. Whitney

We would expect that with their firsthand knowledge of the health effects of smoking authorities would wish to avoid the acceptance of tobacco company sponsorship for National Health Service hospitals or wards.
