HC Deb 20 December 1988 vol 144 c234W
Mr. Michael Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what expenditure his Department makes on anti-smoking campaigns other than in grants to Action on Smoking and Health and the Health Education Authority in the current year; and what expenditure is planned in this area in 1989–90.

Mr. Freeman

Other than money made available to the Health Education Authority and Action on Smoking and Health, the Department did not separately spend any money on specific anti-smoking campaigns in 1988–89 although the "Look After Your Heart" campaign did include a component of advice on giving up smoking. Consideration is currently being given to a campaign to discourage teenage smoking. The amount of expenditure this might involve has not yet been decided.
