HC Deb 25 January 1971 vol 810 cc46-7W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that local weekly newspapers have been excluded from the advertising schedules of the Decimal Currency Board owing to the inadequacy of the Board's financial resources; and if he will make an additional allocation of finance for decimalisation advertising in local weekly papers.

Mr. Higgins

There is extensive advertising coverage in national and some provincial daily newspapers. Advertising in local weekly papers is not considered necessary.
