§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Energy if, in view of the energy shortage, he will issue general directions to restrict advertising to each of the nationalised industries supplying energy and power; if he will publish the cost of advertising for heating purposes being incurred by the National Coal Board, the electricity councils and the gas boards; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EadieNo. Advertising by the nationalised industries is within their own management discretion. They are already giving emphasis to the more efficient use of energy. Information about the cost of advertising for heating is not separately available.
