§ 81. Mr. BILLINGasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the shortage of man-power, he will seize the opportunity of introducing some sort of legislation to prohibit the advertising of luxuries, thereby restricting the demand for the same and releasing the number of men who are at present engaged in their handling and manufacture?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe question of taking action to restrict the further utilisation of man-power in connection with luxury trades generally is at the moment under consideration by the Board of Trade.
§ Mr. BILLINGWill the right hon. Gentleman also consider the advisability of stopping the advertising of luxuries?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThat is well worth considering. I think, if you stop the sale of them, you stop the advertisements.
§ Mr. FLAVINWill the right hon. Gentleman say whether motor cars used by hon. Members are considered luxuries?
