Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Chan (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 3 November 2005.
Tobacco Control
- Question
- My Lords, as the largest area in the world where advertising takes place is probably in China, and as President Hu will be here next week, will Her Majesty’s Government, through the Minister, suggest that their Government adopt some of our good practices regarding the advertising of tobacco products, including the need not to influence younger people, particularly younger women, in relation to smoking?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am sure that my colleagues in the Government who meet their Chinese counterparts will be discussing such issues. However, I am glad to say that China is one of the 89 countries that have ratified the framework convention. Of course, ratifying a convention and implementing legislation are two very different things, but that is the first sign that China has the political will to do something about tobacco smoking.
