HC Deb 05 December 1975 vol 901 c755W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Lord President of the Council what was the cost to public funds of the advertisement "Knowing the cause of inflation isn't important, stopping inflation is"; and by whom it was approved.

Mr. Edward Short

The total cost of the dual advertisement, of which this was part and which appeared in Home Counties newspapers, was £25,200. The concept of the advertisement, which is one of a series in the counter-inflation campaign, was approved by the Government with the objective of providing a platform for people to give their views about inflation and the way in which it affects them.
