HC Deb 12 December 1933 vol 284 c184
16. Sir JOHN HASLAM

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he will consider using the hoardings, etc., formerly belonging to the Empire Marketing Board, for the purpose of advising the public to buy Lancashire cotton goods, consume more milk, or similar purposes?

Mr. J. H. THOMAS

As indicated in the reply to a question addressed to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health on 30th November last, the Government have decided to facilitate, so far as they are able to do so, the transfer of these advertising frames to local authorities for use primarily for health propaganda. Negotiations are now in progress with this end in view.

Mr. PIKE

Are any special facilities afforded to co-operative societies to supply milk to local authorities?

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the people of this country would buy more milk if they had more money with which to buy it?
