APPENDIX 35
Supplementary evidence by Philip Morris
Letter from the Vice President Corporate
Affairs Philip Morris European Union Region to the Clerk of the
Committee (TB 19C)
In response to your request of 17 February enclosed
is a list of ingredients used in the manufacture of cigarettes
distributed for sale in the United Kingdom on behalf of Philip
Morris Europe SA and its affiliates. The list is identical to
that previously provided to the Department of Health save for
the identification of each brand variant. I am also enclosing
a list of ingredients which follows the same format but has been
updated to reflect the reformulation of certain brand variants
which occurred subsequent to the provision of the information
to the Department of Health. The second list includes ingredients
currently used in the manufacture of cigarettes distributed for
sale in the United Kingdom on behalf of Philip Morris and its
affiliates. By a copy of this letter, I am simultaneously delivering
both lists to the Department of Health.
As the Committee members know, the manufacturers,
including Philip Morris, have participated in a series of meetings
with the Department of Health on issues concerning cigarette ingredients.
We are currently engaged in discussions to develop a procedure
for disclosure of additional information related to ingredients
used in the manufacture of cigarettes distributed for sale in
the United Kingdom on behalf of Philip Morris and its affiliates.
Philip Morris is hopeful that the discussions will result in an
agreement that addresses the Department of Health's legitimate
desire for more information while appropriately protecting brand
recipes.
