§ 69. Mr. LYNCHasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Press Bureau will communicate to the Press of this country a message that, at a time when the poor are enduring privations and making great sacrifices, it is inexpedient to call attention to the luxuries of rich and privileged people, and that therefore all mention should be suppressed of the menus of official banquets or the presents given at fashionable weddings?
Mr. SAMUELNo, Sir. If there is unnecessary expenditure on luxuries, I think it is a good thing that the Press should- draw attention to it.
§ Mr. BILLINGI will call attention to the subject on the Adjournment.
