HC Deb 09 March 1989 vol 148 c651W
Mr. Sims

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will increase the protection for children from exposure to cigarette advertisements in the agreement which he is currently negotiating with the tobacco industry on advertising and health warnings.

Mr. Mellor

The Government will be seeking to renegotiate the voluntary agreement on tobacco products' advertising and promotion, and health warnings, but these negotiations are not yet under way. The current agreements already incorporate measures to protect children from exposure to advertisements, but this matter is among those which we intend to address.
