Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill — Prohibition or Restriction of use of Symbol, Name or Emblem — 13 Feb 2001

The majority of MPs voted not to allow ministers to to regulate the use of a symbol, name or emblem to promote a tobacco product.

The proposed new clause rejected by a majority of MPs in this vote was:

• 'The Secretary of State may by regulations make provisions prohibiting or restricting the use of a symbol, name or emblem used to promote a tobacco product, to promote a non-tobacco product or service except where the business producing the non-tobacco product or service is totally unconnected financially with the business producing the tobacco product and where the primary purpose of which is not to promote a tobacco product.'.
