Cardboard Boxes (Volumes of Reports). (Hansard, 10 February 1913)

HC Deb 10 February 1913 vol 48 c470 470

§ 16. Mr. FELL
asked what is the reason why the paper boxes in which the volumes of the Reports are sent by post are manufactured in Holland; if they are supplied to His Majesty's Stationery Office; and if no suitable cardboard boxes can be obtained of British manufacture?

§ Mr. MASTERMAN
The strawboard of which these cases are made is imported from Holland, as no strawboard is manufactured in this country. The boxes are made in London.

§ Mr. FELL
How is it possible for cardboard boxmakers to pay wages to their men—

§ Mr. SPEAKER
That is not relevant to this question.
