§ 14. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Home Secretary whether the proposal to allow advertisements inside or outside taximeter cabs in the London metropolitan district has again been before him; and, if so, what is his intention with regard to this proposal?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThis matter is dealt with in the Report of the recent Committee which I appointed, and the Report is now under my consideration.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYCan the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that advertisements will not be allowed in or outside taxi-cabs without the House being consulted?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI am afraid I cannot give any such assurance.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this is an Imperial City. Surely there should be some public vehicles without advertisements in them?
§ Mr. ERNEST BROWNMay I ask if some of these advertisements are not Imperial works of art?
