Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill

Mrs Caroline Spelman (Meriden, Conservative)
Perhaps I can help. In many such situations, the problem is that no one is told anything. Even under the Minister's own formulation, the onus is on individuals to have their wits about them, and actively to search through magazines to find advertisements. It is quite possible that those going to court to defend themselves will not have been told anything. The accent is on what one should know without being told about it.
