HC Deb 24 May 1949 vol 465 c64W
24. Mr. William Paling

asked the Secretary of State for War if in view of the annoyance and irritation caused by the publication of the recruiting advertisement, "Blind Alley to Let," issued to the Press, he will withdraw this advertisement; and was it published with his knowledge and consent.

Mr. Shinwell

My attention had not been previously called to this advertisement which was one of a series issued by the Central Office of Information in consultation with and on behalf of my Department. No complaint concerning it has been received.
