HC Deb 05 October 1939 vol 351 c2110W
Mr. Gledhill

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information what expenditure has been incurred on posters and upon whose advice this scheme was undertaken?

Sir E. Grigg

In reply to the first part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on the 3rd instant to the hon. Member for Gates-head (Mr. Magnay). The scheme was undertaken on the advice of the nucleus staff of the Ministry, which included certain well known publicity experts; and after consultation with a leading firm of advertising agents, who were employed to prepare the designs and arrange the distribution. These arrangements were approved by my right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal.
