Clause 8(2) provides the same defence for displays as that provided under clause 2(4) for advertisements. It makes it clear that the Bill does not have extra-territorial jurisdiction. The hon. Member for Spelthorne is right that it is impossible to enforce an extra-territorial element, but it is also right that that should be stated clearly in the Bill.
