§ 70. Mr. CAMPBELLasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many telegram forms have been requisitioned through the Stationery Office during the last 12 months?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe approximate number was 272,500,000, of which about 89,000,000 were dispatch forms and 183,500,000 delivery forms.
§ Mr. CAMPBELLHas the right hon. Gentleman considered the gross extravagance in these forms used in the various Government Departments; and is he 1173 satisfied that there are some people in these offices who control the enormous expenditure on stationery?
§ Mr. McNEILLI cannot say that I am satisfied at the present moment, but I am looking into the matter.
