HC Deb 14 May 1953 vol 515 c1404
36. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will resume the custom of publishing an illustrated explanation of the Budget proposals, "The Budget and Your Pocket," in order that the community can be made aware of what benefit they receive from it.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. John Boyd-Carpenter)

A poster showing the detailed make-up of the Budget will be published, as it was last year, after the Finance Bill has been debated.

Brigadier Medlicott

Is it not clear that the good points in the Budget have already been carefully noted by the electors of Sunderland?

Mr. Emrys Hughes

Is it not a fact that if this leaflet had been published the Sunderland election result might have been different?

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I now appreciate the hon. Member's motive in putting down this Question.
