Vol. 525 No. 2

Written Answers. - Publication of Legislation.

Willie Penrose

Question:

144 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Health and Children when he will publish the promised new anti-tobacco legislation; if he has received Government approval for his proposals; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24547/00]

The Government, at its meeting on 3 October 2000, approved the drafting of the heads and general scheme of a Bill to give effect to the proposals in the policy document Towards a Tobacco Free Society, which I launched on 7 March this year. Work is urgently under way in my Department and I hope to submit the heads and general scheme to the Government for approval as quickly as possible.

Question No. 145 taken with Question No. 124.
