HC Deb 18 November 1930 vol 245 c221
21. Mr. DOUGLAS HACKING

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs the total annual cost of the posters issued by the Empire Marketing Board for exhibition upon their own private hoardings in Great Britain?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

The annual cost of designing and printing the posters issued by the Board for exhibition upon their own private hoardings is approximately £13,000, exclusive of the cost of reproducing such posters for use in schools.

Mr. ALBERY

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will use some of this money in negotiating an equitable contract with the Post Office, who at present publish foreign advertisements?

HON. MEMBERS

Order!
