HC Deb 14 December 1922 vol 159 c3162W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if the four-page eulogy of Messrs. J. and P. Coats, Limited, which appeared in the Board of Trade Journal of 23rd November last, was paid for as an advertisement; and, if not, whether he will take steps to prevent such expenditure of public money?

Viscount WOLMER

The pages in question were among the advertisement pages of the Board of Trade Journal and numbered as such, and were paid for as an advertisement. Consequently the second part of the question does not arise.
