Captain A. EVANSasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if, in view of the revenue derived by the Treasury from the licensed trade, he will consider removing the present ban which prevents this trade from advertising in the Post Office Telephone Directories, etc.?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe present policy with regard to the exclusion of certain classes of advertising from Post Office Telephone Directories and other Government publications has been followed for some years. The consideration referred to in the first part of the question would not appear to be a new circumstance involving the reopening of the matter.
