§ Mr. Rathboneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, together with the Independent Broadcasting Authority, he will look again at the financial advertising section of the code of advertising standards and practice with a view to ending some of the restrictions.
§ Mr. MayhewThe Independent Broadcasting Authority has a statutory duty to undertake periodic reviews of its advertising code and I understand that it recently embarked on a review of the code's financial advertising section. It will be for the authority to decide in the light of that review whether to propose changes to the section, consulting my right hon. Friend, as it is required to do, about any such proposals.
