HC Deb 11 July 1923 vol 166 c1354
95. Sir WALTER de FRECE

asked the Home Secretary whether he will institute an inquiry into the whole question as to the desirability of the use of the national Flag for advertising purposes?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am not aware of any circumstances which would justify such an inquiry.

Sir W. de FRECE

Do the Government approve of the persistent use of the national flag for advertising purposes?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

There have been several questions asked and they have been of an extremely cryptical character. I do not know just what I am to inquire about. If my hon. Friend will speak to me about it, I will look into the matter.

Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

Will the right hon. Gentleman recommend the deletion of the Union Jack from advertisements of Conservative meetings?

HON. MEMBERS

Why?

Mr. ALEXANDER

It is advertising.
