HC Deb 08 June 1943 vol 390 c545W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Minister of Information what amount of money has been, and is now being spent, by the Government on advertising and publicity to promote rubber economy; and whether the national Press is being used for this purpose?

Mr. Bracken

An expenditure of approximately £69,000 has been incurred by the Government on advertising and publicity directed to rubber economy. Provision has been made for spending the sum of about £36,000 in this way over the next six months. The national Press is not at present being used for this purpose; advertisements are placed in the trade and technical journals circulating among drivers and those responsible for the operation of commercial motor vehicles.
