Select Committee on Health Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence


APPENDIX 34

Supplementary evidence by Imperial Tobacco Group Plc (TB 13D)

Letter from the Corporate Affairs Director Imperial Tobacco Group Plc to the Clerk of the Committee

Thank you for your letter to Gareth Davis dated 17 February by which the Committee requested a list of the additives used in our cigarettes, by brand. I enclose the information sought by the Committee.

  The identity of the additives used in our current UK cigarette brands appears to be of interest to public health and regulatory bodies. In order to be of assistance to them and to prevent them having to ask for this information again we will be putting the enclosed information on our company website in the near future.
