consultants directed against further consideration by Parliament
of the conditions governing sports sponsorship which are at present
under review, and approves the submissions by the Royal College
of Physicians and other Royal Colleges to the Minister of Sport
which state that any new agreement on the tobacco sponsorship
of sport should consider:
(a) ideally that there should be a complete
ban on tobacco sponsorship of sport.
(b) failing this, meanwhile there should
be:
(i) specified progressive restriction of the
sums the tobacco industry is permitted to spend on sponsorship,
(ii) limitation of any agreement to a period
of not more than two years, after which a fresh agreement should
be negotiated, and
(iii) regular monitoring of how the agreement
is implemented in practice, and
(c) in addition, any advertisements at
and for events where sponsorship by tobacco interests is permitted
to continue for the present should carry a Government health
warning in similar terms to those on standard cigarette advertisements.".

Mr John Heddle
Mr Nicholas Fairbairn
That this House, while in no way encouraging the habit

nationalised monopoly should not seek to moralise in this way
but offer services which reflect public preferences; re-affirms
the right of the individual to smoke or not; and calls upon Sir

Motion (British Rail Ban on Smoking):
Mr K Harvey Proctor
* 1
Leave out line 5 and add "and calls
upon the Secretary of State for Transport to introduce early proposals
for the privatisation of restaurant and buffet cars on railway
trains and catering facilities in railway stations, recognising
that private enterprise, being more responsive to consumer opinion
that the State, would cater effectively for the wishes of non-smoker
and smoker alike.".

Passive smoking
Mr Michael Brown
Mr Neil Hamilton
Mr Gerald
Howarth
Mr Edward Leigh
Mr Michael Forsyth
* 5
That this House welcomes the latest study
of passive smoking by the Institute of Cancer Research in Surrey,
to be published in full next month in the British Journal of
Cancer, which concludes that passive smoking - inhaling other
people's smoke - for life long non-smokers, carries no significant
increase in risk of lung cancer, bronchitis or heart disease;
notes that the Institute's research involved over 12,000 people
and that the study repeats the observation, published in 1978,
that even under quite extreme conditions, the time taken for a
non-smoker to inhale the equivalent of one cigarette would be
11 hours for ash and solid matter and 50 hours for nicotine;
and in the light of this report, calls upon the Health Minister
to stop funding the Health Education Council's £250,000
campaign on passive smoking, as the Health Education Council's
message is misleading and inaccurate.

Mr Anthony Beaumont-Dark
Mr John Carlisle
* 20
Mr Stefan Terlezki
Mr Michael Brown
That
this House, affirming freedom of choice and the right of adults
to be smokers, notes that there is to be another No Smoking Day
on 11 March; is opposed to campaigns using public money to make
smokers feel defensive, wrong and out of step; is convinced that
smokers are now already well aware of the anti-smoking message;
and believes that the £85,000 of taxpayer's money allocated
to No Smoking Day 1987 would be better spent on more pressing
health priorities.
As an Amendment to Mr Barry Porter's proposed
Motion (Taxpayers' money and no smoking day):
Mr Jeremy Hanley

Mr Steve Norris
Mr Cyril D Townsend
Mr David Gilroy
Bevan

to end and add: "congratulates the Government on its support
for No Smoking Day and profoundly hopes that those who have the
good sense and self control to act upon the encouragement that
No Smoking Day will bring to abstain from smoking will continue
to do so as long as possible, in full recognition of the overwhelming
evidence of the health risks involved in smoking, the unpleasantness
it causes others and the money they will save by resisting this
expensive habit".
