As indicated in reply to a question on 27 February, 1964 (Dáil Debates, Volume 207, No. 13, columns 1786-1787), control of cigarette advertising is under consideration. My Department is in communication with some of the interests involved in such advertisements with a view to considering the operation of a code of standards. It is hoped to arrange a discussion on the subject with those interests in the near future.
