Part 3: Touting, Advertising and Trading Offences Section 14: Authorised advertising
Section 14 empowers the Organising Committee to authorise, in writing, advertising that would otherwise be considered an offence.
	Subsection (1) provides that it is not an offence under section 13 to carry out Games location advertising in accordance with an authorisation granted by the Organising Committee, or to arrange for or to permit advertising that is so authorised.
	Subsection (2) provides for the type of authorisations that may be granted (such as an authorisation in relation to advertising of a certain nature) and that the Organising Committee can revoke authorisations. Subsection (3) sets out the sorts of conditions which may be imposed upon authorisations by the Organising Committee (for example specifying where advertising may be carried out).
	Subsection (4) allows the Organising Committee to take account of agreements entered into by others - for example the Secretary of State - when considering whether to grant an authorisation. It also allows the Organising Committee to take into account any existing advertising licences (see section 24(1)). Subsection (5) provides that an authorisation must be in writing.
