55. Mr. V. ADAMSasked the Postmaster-General upon what authority he has taken over for incorporation in the Post Office the film unit of the recently disbanded Empire Marketing Board; and what are the present or proposed functions of that unit?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)The Post Office took over the film unit referred to by my hon. Friend under the authority given by Parliament for the Department's expenditure on publicity. The prime functions of the unit are to produce films illustrating Post Office activities.
Mr. ADAMSMay I ask whether any public money and, if so, how much, is involved in the upkeep of this unit?
§ Sir K. WOODMy hon. Friend had better put that question down; or perhaps I may write to him and send him the particulars.
