BRITISH HUMANIST ASSOCIATION ADVERTISEMENTS ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Early day motion 403, tabled 12 January 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes that posters with the slogan There's Probably No God. Now Stop Worrying and Enjoy Your Life, appear on 800 buses in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as on the London Underground; notes that this causes concern to Christian and Muslim people, many of whom feel embarrassed and uncomfortable travelling on public transport displaying such advertisements and would not wish to endorse the advertisements by using that public transport; regrets that the British Humanist Association backs the campaign; and calls on Ministers responsible for public transport and advertising media to investigate this matter and to seek to remove these religiously offensive and morally unhelpful advertisements.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, DUP 4, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
