Advertising and Flags
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how her Department enforces breaches of flag flying regulations; and what guidance her Department has produced on enforcement of advertising regulations.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Responsibility for the enforcement of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007, which control the display of adverts including flags, rests with local planning authorities.
It is for authorities to decide when and how they use their enforcement powers.
The department publishes general guidance on the advertisement consent regime which can be found on gov.uk here.
