Commentary on Sections Advertising Section 15: Existing advertising licences
32.This section makes it clear that holding an advertising licence granted before or after this section comes into force is not a defence against an advertising offence under the Act. A person who holds or is awarded an ordinary advertising licence will, therefore, be required to obtain authorisation from the Organising Committee in order to advertise in the vicinity of a Games location without committing an offence under the Act.
