Complaints About Heinz Advertising (EDM1913)

Complaints About Heinz Advertising

EDM number 1913 in 2007-08, proposed by Lynne Featherstone on 30/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting, Equality and Media.

That this House regrets Heinz's decision to withdraw its television advert featuring two men kissing because of homophobic complaints and considers the scenes portrayed were in no way offensive or indecent; believes footage displaying affection between two people of the same sex should be treated in the same way as two people of the opposite sex; and calls for the company to resume its advertising campaign as planned.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
