HC Deb 12 July 1934 vol 292 cc524-5
38. Captain CUNNINGHAM - REID

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the protests by representative associations of periodical and magazine publishers against the publication of the "Home Farmer" by the Milk Marketing Board and if in future his Department, or organisations set up by it, will refrain from using public funds for the purpose of entering the competitive newspaper and periodical field?

Mr. ELLIOT

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, but I am not aware that public funds are being used in the way suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend in the second part of his question.
