§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the Report of the evidence given before the Departmental Committee appointed to inquire into the conditions surrounding the export of worn-out horses to foreign countries has been published at the price of 30s.; and will he consider having this evidence published at a price which will make it available to the general public?
§ Mr. R. McNEILLThe net cost of the volume in question for printing alone was £357, and on the basis of that cost the normal selling price would have been £2 5s. per copy. The price has been specially reduced to 30s. a copy, and I do not feel able to direct any further departure from the application of the pricing system in this case. The hon. Member is probably aware that the Report of the Committee is issued separately at a price of 1s.
