Intro:

During the evidence sessions of the Health Committee, reference was made to an agency document and research carried out amongst 15-24 year olds.

The research referred to is from the Target Group Index (TGI) and is a proprietary product of the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB).

TGI is a continuous survey that has been carried out in Great Britain each year since 1969. It gathers data on the use and purchase, by consumers, of over 4,000 brands, within more than 500 product fields.
