Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, following the letter from Professor David Nutt to The Times on 16 March stating that the rates of oral cancer among South Asian women are nearly four times higher than those among the rest of the population, whether they will (1) publish information on the toxicity of South Asian chewed products, and (2) compare this to the toxicity of snus.
