Mr Pickles
It is entirely localised; it is a matter for local councils to determine.
Robert Neill (Bromley and Chislehurst) (Con)
Has my right hon. Friend seen the recent Ofcom report that criticises the London borough of Tower Hamlets for what is described as political advertising? Under those circumstances, will he revisit the strength and effectiveness of the local authority publicity code?
Mr Pickles
I was shocked to read that report and I am very unhappy with what is going on in the borough. I will look as a matter of urgency at putting the publicity code on to a statutory basis.
