HC Deb 06 March 1918 vol 103 c1974
59. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the recently issued pamphlet containing the report of a speech by the President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries contains at the end two pages of complimentary matter; and whether, in view of the necessity of saving paper and the charges now made for printing, he will consider the advisability of omitting these complimentary additions in future publications issued by Government Departments?

Sir R. WINFREY

I am obliged to the hon. Member for drawing attention to this matter. I have given instructions that irrelevant matter of the nature complained of is to be excluded in future.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Will the hon. Gentleman take care that the question and answer is circulated amongst the Government Departments generally?
