1. REPORTS FROM SERVICE ADVISERS .

2. PRESS EXHIBITION IN EDINBURGH.

[DE/1/7/6]

Mr. Royds reported that an exhibition, illustrating the work of the press in war-time, was to be held at the Royal Scottish Academy in aid of press charities, and that the organisers had invited the Ministry to take a section. It was agreed that the Ministry could not, for the sake of advertising its own work, add to the commitments of Exhibitions Division, but that we should offer to supply films and photographs from stock, and, if required, the services of a speaker or speakers to expound the Ministry's share in the activities to be illustrated in the exhibition.
