HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 c39W
8. Mr. Erroll

asked the Secretary of State for War why posters depicting Army equipment which was obsolescent before 1939 are displayed on Government hoardings in Whitehall at the present time: and how many of these prewar posters are being issued in connection with the campaign for recruitment into the modern Army.

Mr. Lawson

Two prewar posters were inadvertently included by the local recruiting office in a selection of posters issued for display in this neighbourhood. They have now been withdrawn and steps have been taken to prevent a recurrence.
