§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, why the Parliamentary Under-Secretary responsible for sports sponsorship refused to meet the secretary and senior officials of the British Medical Association to discuss this matter.
§ Mr. TraceyAs part of the consultation on the new voluntary agreement on tobacco sponsorship in sport, my predecessor met the British Medical Association in February 1985. In response to its request late in 1986 I agreed to a further meeting but it proved impossible to find a mutually convenient date before publication of the agreement. This was explained to the association, which was invited instead to submit any further representations in writing, to which it agreed.
