§ Mr. Harold LeverOfficial advertisements about decimal currency were placed in theGlasgow Sunday Post, Glasgow Daily Record, Aberdeen Press and Journal, Dundee Courier and Advertiser, Scottish Daily Mail and Scottish Daily Express.
The same Scottish newspapers were used to advertise the new National Insurance contributions, together with the Edinburgh Evening News, Glasgow Evening Citizen and Glasgow Evening Times. In addition both advertisements appeared in newspapers which circulate throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
In both cases the use of other Scottish newspapers would not have added significantly to the coverage at an economic rate.
