§ Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domerasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Sainsbury of Turville on 10 December 2001 (WA 171), whether they plan to revise the Environmental Claims in Advertising guidelines. [HL2653]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Lord Sainsbury of Turville)The publication referred to,Environment Claims in Advertising: a single guide to all the applicable advertising codes, was published by the Incorporated Society of British Advertisers in conjunction with the DTI and the regulatory authorities for advertising. We have no plans to revise the publication which was intended to provide advertising professionals with an accessible source of information on the codes of practice relevant to environmental claims. All of this information is now readily available on the websites of the regulatory authorities. Detailed advice for advertisers and companies wishing to make an environmental claim for their goods or services is contained in the Green Claim Code, published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, copies of which are available in the Library of the House.
