HC Deb 03 February 1948 vol 446 c257W
Mr. Marples

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to what extent he and his Department are responsible for the body known as the British Market Research Bureau, Ltd.; and to what extent it is subsidised.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No Department is responsible. The Bureau is a commercial organisation which is not subsidised by the Government. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I have given today to the right hon. and learned Member for West Derby (Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe).
