HC Deb 18 February 1957 vol 565 c15
35. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to what extent it is proposed to seek the advice of foreign nationals as to the most effective ways of spreading information abroad about conditions in the United Kingdom.

Dr. Hill

I welcome advice from all fruitful sources on the best way to tell Britain's story abroad. I am getting a good deal.

Mr. Robinson

Will the right hon. Gentleman not agree that during the war very excellent work was done in this respect by foreign nationals, and will he give every consideration to extending the use of such people?

Dr. Hill

I will, and I meant what I said; I have had letters from all over the world—many of them are of an interesting and useful kind—about the presentation of Britain's case.

Mr. Lagden

Will my right hon. Friend make sure that if he requires advice from foreign nationals, he does not overlook the advice that he might obtain from the right hon. Member for Warrington (Dr. Summerskill)?
