HC Deb 13 June 1921 vol 143 c11
55. Mr. HURD

asked the Minister of Transport why it is necessary to continue to employ a publicity staff at his Ministry, seeing that the public Press is available for the dissemination of all information of public interest?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Sir Eric Geddes)

One of my private secretaries is principally employed in giving to writers and Press representatives information which is available for publication without discrimination.

Mr. HURD

Is he an ex-service man?

Sir E. GEDDES

Yes, Sir.
