§ Mr. Jim CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to encourage adherence to the self-regulatory code on car advertising in other EU member States. [31709]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThere is as yet no such EU Code governing the advertising of new cars with regard to road safety consideration. The European Commission hopes to bring forward, in the summer, proposals for voluntary guidelines, similar to the UK voluntary Codes, dealing with car advertising. My Department is keen to advance these proposals during the UK Presidency.
