HC Deb 09 December 1975 vol 902 cc178-9W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will encourage the various Departments of State to use the provincial Press in their campaign for beating inflation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Edward Short

The current counter-inflation campaign is appearing this month in all provincial morning and evening newspapers. Newspapers are selected for Government advertising on a value-for-money assessment in relation to the campaign objectives. Provincial newspapers will continue to be considered in the same way as other media.
