HC Deb 05 December 1932 vol 272 c1216
57. Mr. ARTHUR REED

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any opposition to the application of the newsprint manufacturers for the transfer of newsprint from the free list was filed before the prescribed date, namely, 28th October; and, if not, if he can state the cause of the delay in dealing with the application?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

I understand that the answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative, and the second part does not therefore arise.
