§ Sir F. Fremantleasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to two advertisements in current issues of 5s. books of stamps, one headed trusses abolished, and the other claiming immediate results from an advertised remedy for bladder and other complaints; 446W and whether he will take action to prevent Government publications from being used as a medium for such advertisements?
§ Mr. MabaneThe policy of the Post Office is to exclude advertisements of medicines covered by paragraph 58 (2) of the report of the Select Committee on Patent Medicines, 1914. The two advertisements referred to by my hon. Friend do not contravene the terms of this paragraph. My right hon. Friend is looking further into the policy of the Post Office in this matter.
