HC Deb 17 March 1919 vol 113 c1708
20. Mr. HOWARD GRITTEN

asked why the No-Returns Order governing newspapers and periodicals is maintained in spite of the renewed supply of paper, and what special reasons exist against its abrogation?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I regret that I am not in a position to add anything to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for the Southern Division of Salford on the 13th inst.

Mr. BILLING

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the reason why this No Returns Order is going on is because the papers supporting the Government do not wish it to be withdrawn?
