Roads: Illegal Motorway Advertisements

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Excerpts

Wednesday 21st July 2010 Lords Chamber

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, I thought someone would make this point. It is because of our comprehensive regulations that we do not have the situation seen in overseas countries, where roads are littered with advertisements. We have an effective system.

[Lord Hunt of Kings Heath]

My Lords, does this comprehensive regulation cover the large number of Conservative Party posters we saw alongside motorways at the last election?

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, the regulations are so comprehensive that they make specific provision for advertisements connected with general elections.
