Marketing Of Action Man Dolls And Accessories

EDM number 211 in 1996-97, proposed by Alex Carlile on 18/11/1996.

That this House notes the production, distribution and retailing of Action Man toy dolls and accessories; further notes that the accessories are sold in packs, for example the Martial Arts Training pack which includes toy swords, combat knives, cross bows, machine guns, hand grenades and chukka sticks; notes that these toys are distributed in the United Kingdom by Hasbro UK Ltd., Gwent, and marketed for children from the age of three years old upwards; and believes that, while many other factors are involved in causing violent behaviour, producers, distributors and retailers should reconsider the promotion of such toys.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
