Answered by Kenny MacAskill on 29 Feb 2008 · 23 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government has no plans to carry out research regarding the advertising of women for sex in newspapers and magazines. We consider that such research would be unlikely to add significantly to the findings of the report Women Not for Sale: A report on advertising in women in small ads in local newspapers, published by the UK Government Equalities Office in January 2008
