HC Deb 27 March 1974 vol 871 c143W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the current Army newspaper recruitment campaign; and if it was with his authority that the full page advertisement in the Sunday Telegraph of 24th March 1974, which is regarded as offensive by many parents, was published.

Mr. William Rodgers

The current publicity campaign, including the particular advertisement to which my hon. Friend refers, was authorised some time ago, on the basis of professional advice. We shall certainly bear in mind my hon. Friend's remarks and other reactions in considering future plans.
