That this House takes note of European Community Document No. 10146/90 and the Supplementary Explanatory Memorandum submitted by the Department of Health on 8th May 1991, relating to labelling of tobacco products; recognises that the proposal would require the United Kingdom to extend legislative controls on tobacco products' labelling and to ban oral snuff products, endorses the Government's view that it is important to prevent the use of oral snuff from becoming established in the United Kingdom and the European Community and that it is desirable that the users of all tobacco products should be warned about the health risks; and supports the Government's view that the proposal is acceptable to the United Kingdom.—[Mr. Nicholas Baker.]

Question agreed to.

Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 102(9) (European Standing Committees),
