Co-Op Retail Society Ban On War Toys

EDM number 214 in 1996-97, proposed by Tony Banks on 19/11/1996.

That this House congratulates the Co-op Retail Society on their decision to withdraw from sale 131 war toy products; believes that the roots of violence in our society can, in part, be traced to the images of violence to which children are exposed from the earliest years, including toys, video games, film and television; further believes that there should be a ban on the sale and advertising of war-toys; and considers it inappropriate to mark the season of peace and goodwill by placing an imitation weapon of death in the hands of children.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
