HC Deb 04 June 1946 vol 423 cc312-3W
Sir W. Darling

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to relax the restrictions on newspaper advertisements relating to commercial, industrial, educational and social requirements, as the restrictions on advertise ments are causing an increasing slowing up of the activities of the community.

Mr. Belcher

I do not think that in present conditions it would be reasonable to allow a larger proportion of newspaper space to be occupied by advertisements.
