HC Deb 27 September 1939 vol 351 c1315
12. Sir Arnold Wilson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will instruct the Railway Operating Service to refuse in future all advertisements calculated to stimulate the sale of commodities the consumption of which the Government desires to restrict, or which are likely to be rationed?

The Minister of Transport (Captain Wallace)

The question whether restrictions of this character should be applied universally is one of general policy, affecting all Departments concerned with rationed commodities, and I see no present justification for imposing a restriction of this nature on railway companies only.
