§ Mr. Grimondasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty why he gave permission for Royal Navy minesweepers to be shown at work in a film advertising a certain brand of cigarettes.
§ Mr. C. Ian Orr-EwingThese advertising films depict routine naval activities; the film company is not provided with special facilities. The film in question was made several years ago, since when the practice has been changed. By agreement with the company, films made since the end of 1959 do not depict the R.N. officers and ratings smoking the brand of cigarettes in question.
