War Toys
EDM number 136 in 1995-96, proposed by Tony Banks on 29/11/1995.
That this House notes with regret in the run-up to Christmas the concentrated advertising campaign on television directed at children to sell stereotyped toys; believe that encouraging boys to want war toys and other violent games is the start of a process of brutalisation which leads on to all the undesirable behaviour patterns exhibited by so many males in later life; calls for a ban on advertising war toys, together with a study into the likely connection between such toys and male violence; and encourages all parents not to purchase war toys or games portraying violence as Christmas presents.
This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
