HC Deb 08 November 1939 vol 353 c205
41. Mr. Hannah

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether he is aware that it will be impossible to find space to exhibit more than a small number of the notices contained in a packet, computed to weigh half a hundredweight, received from his Department last week by a Black Country engineering firm; and will he take steps to be more economical with paper?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information (Sir Edward Grigg)

I am not aware of the circumstances referred to in my hon. Friend's question. No firm such as he describes should have received from the Ministry any package weighing anything approaching half a hundredweight; but if he will supply me with details I will gladly look into the matter. With regard to the last part of his question, the need for economy of paper is being most carefully observed.

Mr. Hannah

I shall be delighted to send my hon. Friend details.
