HC Deb 14 April 1931 vol 251 cc14-5
18. Mr. ALBERY

asked the Secretary of State for War what local authorities have refused permission to allow the exhibit of Army recuiting posters?

Mr. SHAW

From reports which I have received, it appears that there are 18 local authorities who have expressed their inability to display or continue to display Army recruiting posters on or in municipal buildings under their control, the reason in most cases being given as lack of space.

Lieut. - Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALL

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the names of those places?

Mr. SHAW

Willingly. The names are: Bethnal Green, Bermondsey, City of London, Croydon, Deptford, East Ham, Finsbury, Greenwich, Hackney, Holborn, Poplar, Shoreditch, Stoke Newington, Stepney, St. Marylebone, Walthamstow, Westminster, and Barrow-in-Furness.

Sir F. HALL

Does the right hon. Gentleman notice that among the London boroughs the name of Camberwell does not appear?

Forward to
