HC Deb 30 June 1927 vol 208 cc549-50
12. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he proposes to arrange for the free distribution to all public libraries of a copy of the recent Report of the Committee dealing with that subject?

Lord E. PERCY

Public free libraries are authorised to obtain copies of Government publications from His Majesty's Stationery Office at one-half the published price, and I am afraid that I cannot undertake to make the further concession suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend.

Mr. RILEY

Are the public libraries aware that they can obtain the report at half the published price?

Lord E. PERCY

If they did not know it before, I think they will know it now.
