HC Deb 03 February 1975 vol 885 c398W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will make a statement on the loss to HMSO of the advertising account for "Trade and Industry" and its transfer to a private agency.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

By agreement between the two Departments, and after consultation with the staff side of HMSO, the responsibility for selling advertiseing space in "Trade and Industry" was transferred in 1974 to the Department of Industry, which has now engaged a contractor to undertake the necessary canvassing.
