HC Deb 18 July 1929 vol 230 c608
29. Mr. TOOLE

asked the Home Secretary if he will introduce: legislation making it illegal to use the names of individuals in public advertisements without their consent?

Mr. CLYNES

I have every sympathy with the object which my hop. Friend has in view, but I have no reason to think that legislation is necessary. I would refer my hon. Friend to a case which was reported in the "Times" of the 16th instant.

Mr. TOOLE

Is my right hon. Friend aware that only as recently as last week the Prime Minister was subjected to the misuse of his name in a public advertisement?

Mr. CLYNES

Yes, I am aware of that fact.
