§ 46. Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the Empire Marketing Board will refrain from giving publicity to the goods of those Dominions which restrict the import of British manufactures?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Lunn)The principles on which the Empire Marketing Board works have been publicly specified on many occasions, and would not be consistent with a policy of discrimination such as that which, if I understand rightly, the hon. Member has in mind.
§ Mr. MANDERDoes the hon. Gentleman consider it a reasonable proposition that we should be spending the money of this country endeavouring to persuade ourselves to buy the goods of a Dominion which does everything possible to prevent our goods going there?
§ 47. Mr. HURDasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he will suggest to the Empire Marketing Board that, following upon their advertisement of British beef on the Board's hoardings and elsewhere, a similar advertisement should be made of the nutritive value of liquid milk?
§ Mr. LUNNThe Empire Marketing Board have already undertaken an extensive advertising campaign on their hoardings and elsewhere in favour of liquid milk, when special attention was drawn to its nutritive value. I cannot say when the Board will again undertake special advertising of milk.
