HC Deb 04 December 1972 vol 847 c325W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why his Department, in authorising a Press advertisement for police recruitment, allowed the identity of a particular constable to be disclosed.

Mr. Carlisle

Because I believe that this is an effective and unobjectionable way of advertising. The advertisements are factual. In each of them, the text has been approved by the man concerned and his chief officer of police.
