HC Deb 27 January 1998 vol 305 c196W
18. Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the outcome of negotiations on the European Community tobacco advertising directive. [23432]

Ms Jowell

I attended the Health Council on 4 December, where a common position was agreed on the proposed tobacco advertising Directive. This text will now be considered by the European Parliament and the Government will continue to work hard to achieve final adoption of this very important piece of European legislation.
