§ 57. Captain John Dugdaleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the adverse effect that they have upon the National Savings Campaign, he will take steps to prohibit, for the duration of the war, the display of advertisements upon hoardings throughout the country calling upon people to spend money upon the purchase of proprietary articles?
§ Sir K. WoodNo, Sir. Private advertising upon hoardings is already subject to very severe and increasing restrictions by the Paper Controller and in other ways, and I am satisfied that the National Savings Campaign will not be adversely affected by leaving the position as it is.
§ Captain DugdaleDoes not the right hon. Gentleman consider it unfortunate that posters encouraging people to spend should be placed side by side with the posters of his Department which encourage people to save?
