HC Deb 15 November 1983 vol 48 c388W
Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will allow captive balloon advertising to be subject to a deemed consent for balloons which are being flown for periods of up to 14 days.

Mr. Macfarlane

My right hon. Friend recently announced his intention to amend the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations so as to bring captive balloon advertisements within control by local planning authorities, who would then be able to grant "express consent" for this type of advertisement. It is hoped to lay amending regulations before Parliament shortly.
