§ 64. Mr. DAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider issuing cheap reprints of the May Economy Report and the Macmillan Report, with a view to their wider circulation?
§ 65. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider issuing the Report of the Macmillan Committee on Finance and Industry in a cheap edition instead of its present price of 5s., in view of its importance in the present economic situation?
§ Major ELLIOTThe prices of these publications have been fixed according to the standard scale for Stationery Office publications. Experience goes to show that sales would not be increased to any extent by lowering the price. I fear, therefore, that I should not be justified in adopting this suggestion.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that great public interest is being taken in the matter dealt with in the Macmillan report, and could not the experiment be tried of issuing a cheap edition? [Interruption.] Have you read it yourselves?
