§ Mr. K. RobinsonThis guidance to hospital authorities on curtailment of publicity during the General Election campaign follows closely that issued by the previous Government in September, 1964, and at earlier elections. Since the letter was expressely marked "Not for publication" it would not be appropriate to publish it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
