§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Postmaster-General what revenue is derived from the display of advertisements in post offices; whether any restrictions are imposed upon the nature of the advertisements; and, if so, what these restrictions are?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe revenue derived from advertisements in post offices during 1928 was £36,700. An additional revenue of about £5,700 accrued from advertisements in tele-1796W phone call boxes, making a total of £42,400. Restrictions are imposed to prevent the acceptance of advertisements which are regarded as unsuitable for display. In particular, all advertisements are refused which relate to betting, gaming, or to any illegal or immoral business, or which appear to be contrary to public safety.
