The Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA), one of the UK’s leading advertising membership organizations, says it is concerned that Scottish businesses, other than official sponsors, may be prevented from associating themselves with the 2014 Commonwealth Games if Scotland wins the bid to host the event.

The organization has submitted a response to the Scottish Executive on the draft Glasgow Commonwealth Games Bill.

IPA legal director Marina Palomba said, “Scottish businesses may well be surprised, if not outraged, at not being able to refer to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. London businesses are already up in arms about not being able to say “come to London in 2012” and we, at the IPA, firmly believe that Scottish firms should be concerned that they too will be prevented from referring to this major event before the principle is endorsed in statute”.
