§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that £648,000 has been allocated to publicise Her Majesty's Government's policy to enter the European Economic Community, £630 has been spent on publicising the changes in retirement pensions, and nothing has been spent on publicising Her Majesty's Government's changes in food and cheap milk for school-children; and whether he will change this order of priorities.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinIt is for the departmental Minister responsible for the policy in each case to decide whether publicity is required. No order of priorities is laid down for individual policies and the amounts do not reflect the Government's assessment of their relative importance.
