§ Mr. Rostasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he has now concluded agreements with advertising associations and others for voluntary codes of conduct in relation to lighted signs; and if he will publish the codes of conduct.
§ Dr. John A. CunninghamVoluntary codes of practice have been agreed with four groups of trade organisations comprising 26 trade associations representing the main users and suppliers of advertising lighting. These codes of practice replaced The Electricity (Advertising Lighting) (Control) Order 1974 and the Electricity (Advertising Lighting) (Control) (Northern Ireland) Order 1975 from 1st December 1976 and were distributed to the Press and other interested organisations on that date. Copies of the codes are available in the Libraries of both Houses.
