HC Deb 08 October 1946 vol 427 cc32-3
63. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the poster issued by the National Savings Movement and entitled, "A Bit of Land of Your Own," was withdrawn.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

It was not a poster, but a Press advertisement; it was not prematurely withdrawn, but ran its scheduled course.

Sir J. Mellor

Is the Financial Secretary aware that the Ministry of Town and Country Planning admitted that they requested the withdrawal of this advertisement?

Mr. Glenvil Hall

My advice is that the Ministry of Town and Country Planning did no such thing, but that the matter was wrongly reported in the Press.
