Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

On the previous occasion we debated the Bill a number of Members had a certain perception of the section dealing with advertising on cars, but I believe the Minister subsequently clarified the matter. The perception was that any form of advertising on cars was illegal. In other words, it would be illegal to place advertisements on cars four or five weeks before a general election. The Minister subsequently clarified the issue by saying it was an interpretation of the Litter Act and that there will not be an all-out ban at election time or a ban on stickers on cars indicating who sold the cars and when they were sold. I thank the Minister for clarifying that matter.
