§ Mr. MASTERMANI beg to refer the hon. Member to the replies I gave to the hon. Members for King's Lynn and Enfield on the 9th May, 13th June, and 15th July. I am unable to give the number of the documents, and their pages, referred to by the hon. Member, but, as I stated in answer to the hon. Member for Wilton on the 7th August, the total amount expended on stationery and printing in connection with both parts of the National Insurance Act between the introduction of the Bill into the House of Commons and that date was approximately £100,000.
Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANSCan the right hon. Gentleman say approximately how many printed pages he has covered, or has he lost count?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI am afraid it would be impossible to state the number.
