Archive material should not be used in any way likely
to lower the dignity or damage the reputation of the House, or
of any individual Member.
a) Archive material should not be used in any
way which infringes the legitimate rights of individual Members,
in particular by purporting, without their authority, to enlist
their support for, or endorsement of, any product, organisation,
cause or political party.
b) That, in the case of compilations or summaries
of proceedings distributed in video— or audio-cassette form,
there may be no internal editing of extracts such as to distort
the timing of events or the meaning of any words spoken; that
there should be a clear indication of subject and time changes;
and that due regard must be had to the requirements of political
balance.
c) That no archive material should be used in
any form of advertising or publicity.
