HC Deb 19 March 1917 vol 91 c1557W
Mr. BILLING

asked the Prime Minister whether this House is to understand that the decision not to restrict the advertisement of luxuries may be taken as an indication that the Government approve of the manufacture and the sale of luxuries during this War; whether it is due to political representations; and, in this case, whether the Government will make a patriotic appeal to refrain from encouraging the production of these luxuries and non-essentials by refraining from enticing the public to purchase them?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the negative.
