Aerial Advertising

EDM number 221 in 1995-96, proposed by Ieuan Wyn Jones on 18/12/1995.

That this House rejects the outrageous extension in the scope of advertising in the sky provided for by the Civil Aviation (Aerial Advertising) Regulations 1995, believing that the large-scale proliferation of advertising by means of aircraft and signs attached to balloons and helicopters would be a possible source of danger to birds and aircraft, a source of light pollution, a waste of resources, a source of carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft and helicopter fuel, a force promoting irrational consumerism, contrary to the policies underlying the designation of some areas as national parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty and conservation areas and an unwarranted intrusion into the freedom to see the sky, which has been enjoyed as a source of tranquillity and beauty by human beings for millenia.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
