HC Deb 01 May 1940 vol 360 c730W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the increased revenue now derived from the sale of postage stamps, he will arrange to discontinue the advertisements in postage stamp booklets of appeals to the public to spend money upon alleged remedies and appliances of which the British Medical Association disapprove, and the publicity given to which all responsible medical authorities deplore?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The alteration in long standing policy suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend means forgoing the revenue derived from these advertisements; and I am not prepared to give this up, in view of the present heavy expenditure on national services.
