HC Deb 08 December 1966 vol 737 c352W
103. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what is the annual cost of producing his Department's newspaper entitled "Upswing"; whether he is aware that this contains a large element of pro-Government propaganda; and, in view of the undesirability of this, if he will take steps to rectify it.

Mr. Albu

The estimated cost for five issues is £10,500. This publication gives examples of the need for improved performance in industry, and in this context describes Government actions and explains why they have been taken. It has been widely welcomed and the present circulation is over 152,000. We see no reason to alter the present arrangements.
