Dear Mr. Evans,
I see that you have put your name to Early Day
Motion 140 which
refers to an article published in The Observer on
10th November.
I thought you may be interested to see a copy of
the letter
dated 15th November which Jean-Louis Mercier,
Chairman and Chief
zx:cutive of Imperial Tobacco Limited. wrote to
the Editor of
Th Observer.
I am not so naive an to believe that you will
change your views
about cigarette smoking. I am hopeful, however,
that you will
agree that argument and debate is not advanced by
wrong and
utterly misleading reportage and opinion.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Prideaux
Director of Group Public Affairs
