HC Deb 20 November 1917 vol 99 c1003
39. Mr. ARTHUR RICHARDSON

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the advertisement of National War Bonds, whilst being inserted in daily, local, religious, pictorial, fashion, comic, and miscellaneous publications, is being withheld from the trade papers and technical journals, which have done so much to develop national trade; and whether, in view of the circulation of these journals amongst the commercial classes, he will give directions that a fair share of the advertising is given to them?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am informed that he question of advertising in the principal trade and technical journals is receiving favourable consideration.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the hon. Gentleman say who is responsible for the choice of the papers in which advertisements are put?
