HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 cc1326-7W
Sir STUART COATS

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware that the "Strength of Britain" advertisements are issued under the auspices of Messrs. Randles, whose advertisements of ladies' corsets are well known in the Press; that an American publicity agent is employed in promoting the "Strength of Britain" propaganda; and will he say whether advertisements in the Press are submitted to the Press Censor before publication?

Sir G. CAVE

I have no knowledge of the matters mentioned in the first two parts of the question. AS regards the third, advertisements in any way connected with the War may be submitted to the Press Bureau in the same way as any other matter for publication, but advertisers are not bound to take that course.
