Offensive Advertisements

EDM number 575 in 1991-92, proposed by Alan Meale on 28/01/1992.

That this House expresses its concern about the recent publication by some national newspapers of the advertisement, Seeing is Believing, printed and sold by City Trading Ltd of London, which attempts to gain sales advantage by the highlighting of illness and physical disorder, notably its showing of photographs depicting infantile obesity, elephantitis and hydrocephaly in its contents; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to investigate this matter immediately and act to stop such sickening advertising.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
