I find this unsatisfactory. Several of us raised the issue of misleading advertising. The public certainly would read this situation very differently from the way the regulator read it. In this correspondence, we are being asked to note that it is open to the committee to make a complaint about the relevant advertising. The ASAI could then investigate that complaint in accordance with the code. I think the committee should do that and confirm this is a complaint, because I do not think any of us felt the reply we got was satisfactory. This is the organisation that governs the standards for advertising.
