HC Deb 03 July 1995 vol 263 cc63-4W
Mr. Allen

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how he is responding to Britain's advertisers' informal complaints to his Department on the effect of the cost of air time on the competitiveness of British industry. [31916]

Mr. Eggar

The cost of air time is a matter for the commercial judgment of the organisations concerned. The subject was one of several issues raised at a recent meeting officials in my Department had with representatives from the advertising sector.
