HC Deb 14 December 1990 vol 182 c521W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the policy of his Department towards the use of subliminal techniques in all types of communication media; and what estimate he has made of any possible dangers to the public from exposure to subliminal techniques.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The Government oppose the use of subliminal techniques in broadcasting. Because of the danger of unacceptable exploitation of the public, they have been prohibited for many years and will remain so.
