HC Deb 28 November 1977 vol 940 c67W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to seek to prevent the display of indecent advertising.

Mr. John

There is already legislation penalising the indecent display of advertisements. It falls within the terms of reference of the Committee on Obscenity and Film Censorship chaired by Professor Bernard Williams. The Government will consider, in the light of the Committee's report, whether any amendment of the law would be appropriate.
