§ 48. Mr. Archerasked the Minister of Transport whether she will introduce legislation to ensure that no breath-testing device is exhibited or advertised for sale to the public unless it bears a clear warning that it provides only an approximate indication, and that the alcohol content of blood can rise after the last drink is taken.
§ Mrs. CastleI understand that these points are already covered in a Code of Rules recently issued by the Advertising Standards Authority.
§ Mr. ArcherWill my right hon. Friend take steps to publicise these rules and does not she agree that many of the existing "get-ups" are calculated to make people think that they have beaten the breathalyser, and this is very dangerous?
§ Mrs. CastleI agree with my hon. Friend that any attempt to encourage self-testing is to be deplored. I think that the firms concerned are complying with the Authority's code.
