§ Mr. BILLINGasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that no undertaking is to be allowed to spend more than a limited proportion of its capital in advertising, his attention has been called to the sums disbursed during the last week or two by the "Sunday Pictorial" newspaper in advertising a contribution to its columns by the late First Lord of the Admiralty; whether he is aware that the said newspaper is the property of Lord Rothermere, Director-General of the Army Clothing Department; and whether he will take steps to find out and verify the amount of the excess profits for which the "Sunday Pictorial" newspaper is legally bound to pay duty?
