HC Deb 05 July 1956 vol 555 c1532
42. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange that Premium Bonds can be marked to enable owners who do not wish to receive publicity to state their desires.

Mr. H. Brooke

I would ask the hon. Member to await the further details of the scheme which my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General hopes to make public in a few weeks' time.

Mr. Chetwynd

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that on football pools entrants can mark an X if they do not wish to have publicity? Would it not be a pity if certain people who purchased these bonds changed their minds and later on found that they had won a prize and were subjected to publicity?

Mr. Brooke

I have noted the hon. Member's suggestion, which seems to have intriguing features.

Mr. Osborne

Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind the tender consciences of hon. Members opposite?
