HC Deb 19 May 1949 vol 465 c29W
55. Mrs. Manning

asked the Minister of Health if he will consider the advisability of taking advertisement space in the national Press in order to advise the public of the up-to-date facts of the supply situation in regard to the supplementary ophthalmic services of the National Health Service.

Mr. Bevan

I think it preferable to rely on the publicity given by the newspapers and the B.B.C. to the statements made from time to time in answer to Questions in this House, coupled with the assistance given by hon. Members in explaining the position to their constituents.
