§ Mr. Mathersasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that "Food Facts, No. 46," prominently displayed in Scottish newspapers, embodied the statement that England expects us all to honour the food code; and whether he will arrange that any future propaganda in Scotland by his Ministry will be more appropriately worded?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI am aware of the advertisement to which my hon. Friend refers. I would point out to him how ever, that the phrase, "England expects," has time-honoured associations and should appeal as much to the Scots as to the English. In other advertisements where the word "England" does not form part of a recognised phrase, it is the practice of my Department to substitute "Scotland" in newspapers published North of the Border.
