§ Mr. EasthamTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will ban the advertising of tobacco in video games where the speed at which they are played could cause the products to be subliminally advertised.
§ Mr. Leigh[holding answer 29 June 1992]: The advertising of tobacco in video cassettes for sale or hire to the public is not permitted under the terms of the voluntary agreement between the tobacco industry and the Government. If the hon. Member has examples of advertisements or promotions which he believes are in breach of this agreement, I suggest he makes them available to COMATAS, the Committee for Monitoring Agreements on Tobacco Advertising and Sponsorship.
