§ 43. Wing-Commander Hulbertasked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many copies of "Fuel Crisis and You" have been printed; and what is the basis of distribution.
§ Mr. ShinwellFourteen million two hundred and fifty thousand copies of this leaflet have been printed; distribution is on a household basis, delivery being made by the Post Office during the fortnight ending 5th July.
§ Wing-Commander HulbertIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in some houses, where there is only one inhabitant, no less than 15 or 20 of these pamphlets have been put through the letterbox?
§ Mr. ShinwellNo, I am not aware of that.
§ Mr. Henry UsborneDoes the Minister realise that the layout and general appearance of this particular pamphlet is about as unattractive and repulsive as it could possibly be?
§ Mr. ShinwellNo, I do not agree. If the hon. Member has views about what the layout should be, perhaps he would let me have them.
§ Viscount HinchingbrookeIs the Minister aware that this unattractive pamphlet is appropriate to an unattractive situation?
§ Mr. ShinwellI should not imagine the noble Lord is a judge of anything that is attractive.
