HC Deb 10 July 1940 vol 362 c1158
35. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Supply whether, in order to save paper, he will take steps to ensure that the wine trade throughout the country minimise the sending out of circulars, especially in duplicate and triplicate, in view of the substantial amount of paper which is utilised in the preparation of advertisements, many of which are never read by the public to whom they are sent?

The Minister of Supply (Mr. Herbert Morrison)

The distribution of advertising circulars, including those of the kinds which my hon. Friend appears to have in mind, is already severely restricted by the Control of Paper (No. 16) Order, 1940. I am considering the desirability of increasing these restrictions.

Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore

In view of the Chancellor's statement yesterday, does my right hon. Friend think that more wine will be drunk in this country in future?
