To ask the President of the Board of Trade how much net and gross income was derived from sales of postmark advertising in the last three years; if he will list the 20 largest purchases of postmark advertising over the last year; and if he will make it his policy that the Post Office should ban the advertising of products whose consumption is discouraged in "The Health of the Nation" targets.
