HC Deb 30 March 1994 vol 240 c893W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment she has made of the effect in advertising terms of tobacco-sponsored events on television and the effect of banning such indirect advertising on the consumption of cigarettes.

Dr. Mawhinney

The Department of Health discussion document "Effect of tobacco advertising on tobacco consumption" reviewed the available evidence in this area. It made no assessment of either the effect in advertising terms of tobacco sponsored events on television or of the effect of banning indirect advertising on cigarette consumption. Copies of the report, published in October 1992, are available in the Library.
