HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 cc1261-2
46. Mr. Marples

asked the Lord President of the Council when he will announce the decision as to whether the Government propose to publish an annual report of the activities of the Central Office of Information.

Mr. H. Morrison

I have now arranged for the publication of this annual report.

Mr. Wilson Harris

Will the statement of accounts be included with the report? I understand that the Office of Information buys and sells articles. The finance of this should be very interesting.

Mr. Morrison

I will consider that point but I should have thought that the estimates would appear in the ordinary way in the Civil Estimates.
