Clause 3 - Advertising: newspapers, periodicals etc
Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm
Mr David Wilshire (Spelthorne, Conservative)
I understand what the Minister is saying, but would she care to reflect upon the arrangements that are ever more commonly made by newspapers? For example, a newspaper with a range of editions may have a group editor who is responsible for the common parts and a local editor who is responsible for the specific parts in an edition. Under those circumstances, there is no one person who is ultimately responsible—at an editorial level—for the entire content of the publication. That is the type of point on which I want the Minister to reflect.
