1 and the way in which the advertisements achieve their
2 effect? Do you remember, Ms. Dibb, that one of your
3 references was a paper written by Dr. Brian Young, the
4 Young paper which you referred us to last time?
5 A. Yes.
6
7 Q. I am not going to ask you about this. This is for the
8 record. It was No. 1 of section A of the first bundle. It
9 was a paper written in 1987 called Sugar, Children and
10 Television Advertising.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Are we looking at Young?
13
14 MR. RAMPTON: No, it was just, if your Lordship remembers, on
15 the last occasion I said to Ms. Dibb I would refer her to
16 some later observations of Dr. Brian Young than those
17 contained in the one Ms. Dibb referred to. That is what
18 I now propose to do.
19
20 Ms. Dibb, I am sorry about this, but can you take the
21 second green bundle of references and open it at tab 14?
22 I am referring you to this with this proposition underlying
23 what I propose to read, that Dr. Young's thinking had moved
24 on somewhat by 1990 from where it was in 1987. Ms. Dibb,
25 this is an article from the International Journal of
26 Advertising. Do you take the International Journal of
27 Advertising on a regular basis?
28 A. We do not have the resources to subscribe to these.
29 I often may go to the libraries if I feel I need to refer
30 to particular references.
31
32 Q. This is, is it -- I ask you -- a well-known journal to be
33 read by persons specialising in advertising?
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Is it this one? Ms. Dibb, bundle 2?
36
37 MR. RAMPTON: 2, my Lord, yes. The numbers, I hope, run
38 serially through to the end. 14 is the last but one.
39 Actually, there is no 15, so it is the last one.
40
41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am obviously looking at the wrong one
42 because I have 15, which is a research report.
43
44 MR. RAMPTON: It is taken from the International Journal of
45 Advertising in 1990. Is this an authoritative publication
46 read by those who specialise in advertising and its
47 effects, Ms. Dibb?
48 A. Yes, I have no reason to doubt that.
49
50 Q. It is headed: "The Effects of Tobacco Advertising on
51 Adolescent Smoking Initiation and Smoking Maintenance:
52 Overview of a Group Seminar", and the report, the article
53 is written by Scott Ward from the Wharton School in
54 Philadelphia, who is a professor. As we see: "Professor
55 Ward reports on a discussion among the authors of the
56 articles in this issue and others about tobacco
57 advertising. He describes areas of consensus that
58 emerged. Research should continue into the ways and stages
59 of development in which children understand advertising.
60 The group was sceptical, based on present evidence, that
