No prize money has been paid to cigarette firms in events sponsored by the Health Education Bureau.
Then would the Minister explain to whom the prize money was paid at the recent show jumping event which the Health Education Bureau sponsored?
I cannot give the Deputy any information about the general situation. But I can reassure him, as I have done in the question, that no cigarette firm has received any prize money from the Health Education Bureau.
Was it not the case that the Minister presented a prize to a horse named after a cigarette firm?
I did not present prizes to either horses or cigarette firms.
The rider or the horse.
