HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 cc1337-8
63. Major Lloyd

asked the Secretary to the Treasury the expenditure of the Central Office of Information in purchases of the published life of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and for what purposes the copies have been purchased.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

£154. For use in the information services overseas.

Major Lloyd

Is it not of the greatest importance that the past record of other Ministers on the Front Bench should be revealed to the public in this way?

Mr. Wilson Harris

Is my right hon. Friend aware that this book shows the Foreign Secretary to have been a very nice little boy, and is it not a good thing that certain hon. Members and others who take a different view of him today should be told of this?
