HC Deb 25 October 1993 vol 230 cc501-2W
Mrs. Peacock

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to her answer of 1 July,Official Report, column 618, if she will publish the data on which she based the statement that the ending of sales of tobacco products on NHS premises has now largely been achieved.

Mr. Sackville

The reply was based on advice from regional health authorities. As the information provided varied in format, publication is unlikely to prove useful but the results showed that, on all but a handful of sites, sales of tobacco products had ceased. Action continues to ensure the remaining outlets comply with the policy as soon as possible.
