§ Mr. Cookasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will state the reference for the quotation from Admiral Gorshkov included in his Department's advertisement in The Sunday Times colour supplement on 21 November 1982; and why his Department has not yet responded to the inquiry by the Advertising Standards Authority on this matter.
§ Mr. WigginThe advertisement contained two quotations: one from "No Soft Options" by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton, and the other from an article by ET Wooldridge in "Orbis", Vol. XVIII, No. 4.
The Advertising Standards Authority's inquiry was made to the advertising agency concerned. I understand that the agency will be replying to the authority in the next few days.
