HC Deb 22 April 1918 vol 105 c656
4. Major NEWMAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Paper Controller has considered the saving of paper that can be effected by allowing the printing of new posters on the backs of old ones; and, if so, will he issue an Order authorising the printing of new posters upon the backs of old posters without limit of size?

Mr. WARDLE

It has been decided by the Paper Controller to exercise the powers given under Clause 22 of the Paper Restriction (Posters and Circulars) Order, 1918, with a view to permitting the use of stock posters in the manner suggested by the hon. and gallant Member.

Major NEWMAN

Does that mean only as to size?

Mr. WARDLE

I think my hon. and gallant Friend had better wait.
