COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEINZ ADVERTISING

Early day motion 1913, tabled 30 June 2008 by Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 23 members.

That this House regrets Heinz's decision to withdraw its television advert featuring two men kissing because of homophobic complaints and considers the scenes portrayed were in no way offensive or indecent; believes footage displaying affection between two people of the same sex should be treated in the same way as two people of the opposite sex; and calls for the company to resume its advertising campaign as planned.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 10.
