Tobacco Advertising Targetted At Young Children

EDM number 140 in 1991-92, proposed by Roger Sims on 12/11/1991.

That this House notes the article in The Observer on 10th November, which gave alarming and concrete evidence of the tobacco companies advertising campaign targeted specifically at young children; notes the very serious nature of this matter in view of the tobacco industry's frequent dishonest denials of such practice; further notes the tobacco industry's constant hollow assertions that a voluntary ban on tobacco advertising is more effective than a statutory ban whilst spending millions of pounds on a campaign against a statutory ban; and urges the Government to introduce a total ban without further delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
