Clause 4 - Advertising: exclusions
Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill
4:45 pm
Ms Yvette Cooper (Parliamentary Secretary (Public Health), Department of Health; Pontefract and Castleford, Labour)
We have already had an extensive debate on many of the issues around clause 4, which sets out some of the exemptions under the Bill. Clearly, it is not the Government's intention to prevent those legally selling tobacco products within the tobacco trade from going about their business under subsection (1)(a). Nor is it our intention to allow a huge loophole for direct marketing under subsection 1(b). Under subsections (1)(c) and (1)(d) we recognise, in particular, the issues regarding foreign publications and in-flight magazines. Subsection (2) sets out the need for regulations on point-of-sale advertising and it is right that we consult on that in detail. Subsection (3) is purely a definition.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 4, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Further consideration adjourned.—(Mrs McGuire.)
Adjourned accordingly at four minutes to Five o'clock till Tuesday 6 February at half-past Ten o'clock.
