HC Deb 21 February 1929 vol 225 c1298
70. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTANDOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether it is the intention of the Empire Marketing Board to depart from their policy of using only their own hoardings for the exhibition of posters and to avail themselves of the hoardings offered by private contractors for such purposes?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Amery)

The Empire Marketing Board have no fixed policy such as is suggested. They have more than once in the past made use of hoardings owned by private contractors and are preparing again to do so this spring in connection with their display at the North-East Coast Exhibition.

Mr. JOHNSTON

Has the attention of the right hon. Gentleman been drawn to the fact that the only questions that are crabbing and criticising the work of the Empire Marketing Board are coming from his own supporters?
