HC Deb 24 March 1948 vol 448 c2994
20. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether with a view to saving dollars he will direct B.O.A.C. only to employ British advertising agents.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Mr. Lindgren)

No, Sir. I understand that wherever possible, British advertising agents are used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation, but advertising in the United States and Canada necessarily involves dollar expenditure.
