§ 58. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Economic Secretary to the Treasury why an advertisement entitled "Productivity Campaign 49" inserted in the Press by the Central Office of Information ridicules the Police Force.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterWould not the hon. Member consider he was being ridiculed if he were portrayed in the public Press as being about 18 inches high, almost entirely obliterated from view by a large moustache and showing patent inability to carry a shopping basket? If the answer is "Yes," as I imagine it will be, does he not consider 34 that the police have considerable grounds of complaint?
§ Mr. JayMy impression is that the sense of humour of the Police Force exceeds that of the hon. Member for Kingston-upon-Thames (Mr. Boyd-Carpenter).
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterIn view of the hon. Gentleman's supplementary answer, may I take it that he has no objection to being similarly portrayed?
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonHas my hon. Friend received any complaints from the Police Federation or any other body representing the Police Force?
§ Air-Commodore HarveyOn a point of Order. As the Chamber is warming up, Mr. Speaker, could we have some windows open, please?
