WOMEN'S WAR WORK.

HC Deb 25 October 1916 vol 86 c1116

35. Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the total cost of the production and printing of the recently published volume on women's war work issued by the War Office?

Mr. FORSTER

I understand from the Stationery Office that the total cost of the paper and printing is £725, and that apart from this there has been no expense. The book is on sale at 1s. a copy, and considerable numbers have already been sold.

Mr. ASHLEY

Will the 1s. a copy bring in a profit to the War Office?

Mr. FORSTER

That would depend upon the numbers sold.
