HC Deb 22 June 1955 vol 542 cc63-4W
Mr. Hobson

asked the Postmaster-General what further consultations he has had with the Independent Television Authority regarding the types of advertisement that will be banned; and what proposals he has had from the Authority regarding the methods of advertising.

Dr. Hill

In accordance with Section 8 (2) (b) of the Television Act, the I.T.A.'s Advertising Advisory Committee presented to the Authority a code of standards of advertising—the "Principles" are based on this code. I considered the "Principles" in draft and with some minor amendments, approved them, in so far as they relate to matters falling within my jurisdiction under Section 4 (5) of the Act.

Mr. Hobson

asked the Postmaster-General if he will now introduce regulations defining an advertisement period in terms of minutes per hour under his agreement with the Independent Television Authority.

Dr. Hill

No.
