HC Deb 20 March 1968 vol 761 c410
35. Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how much was spent on advertising to encourage recruitment in the Armed Forces in 1967; and how much he estimates will be spent in 1968.

Mr. Reynolds

About £3 million in 1967–68; I estimate that we shall spend about the same in 1968–69.

Mr. Cordle

Does the right hon. Gentleman think it is enough, in view of the Government's policy to discourage recruitment?

Mr. Reynolds

It is never enough, but it is the amount of money that we expect to spend at the present moment.
