A number of industries could be affected by the forthcoming consultation on ad regulations. Campaign asked leading figures from those concerned for their thoughts.
CONDOMS / ABORTION SERVICES
- Rt Rev John Arnold, Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster
'It is questionable whether extending the reach of condom advertising will arrest the alarming increase of teenage pregnancies and the transmission of STDs among that age group.
'Contraceptives, sex education and advice on the avoidance of pregnancies and the transmission of STDs are already widely available to teenagers in this country and yet the UK continues to have the highest level of teenage pregnancies in Europe.
'The issue to address is not one of a lack of information; rather, it is an issue of culture and behaviour. The most effective way to change behaviour is to encourage a culture of family and fidelity in lifelong committed sexual relationships. Now there's a challenge for the advertising industry.'
- Fiorella Nash, research officer, Society for the Protection of Unborn Children
