HC Deb 18 April 1967 vol 745 c273
4. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give details of the poster exhibited last year in post offices, inland revenue and other Government offices explaining the way in which the taxpayer's money is spent.

Mr. MacDermot

The exceptional lateness of the 1966 Budget prevented the timely exhibition of the poster last year. The series is being resumed this year.

Mr. Irvine

Why did the Chief Secretary tell me on 31st January that such posters were already displayed in my constituency and the Postmaster-General tell me on 10th March that no such posters were exhibited?

Mr. MacDerrnot

I do not think that the Chief Secretary was referring exclusively to the hon. Gentleman's constituency. His Answer referred to the normal practice.
