HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c11
27. Mr. A. SHORT

asked whether in the statement that is being prepared by the Government giving the cost to the country of the recent railway strike, he will include under separate headings the cost involved in preparing, printing, and distributing the various leaflets, posters, and advertisements to the Press which purported to set forth the Government view on the situation, giving the numbers issued in each case?

Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)

The cost of publicity and propaganda, as already stated, is £32,657. I do not think that it would be worth while to split this sum up under separate headings.
