Fossil Fuel Products (Control of Advertising and Sponsorship) Bill 2024

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The bill would ban advertising for fossil fuels and fossil fuel companies, with limited exemptions, and would also stop those companies from sponsoring events or activities. It would give the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities power to investigate and enforce the rules, with fines or prison terms for serious breaches. It matters because its هدف is to limit fossil fuel companies’ ability to influence public debate and help speed the shift away from fossil fuels.
