§ 59. Sir H. Morris-Jonesasked the Minister of Supply whether he is satisfied that there are adequate stocks of printing paper in the provinces at present; and whether he can arrange for the distribution of stocks under, if necessary, Government control, in the many small towns throughout the country, on account of the delay at present in transport?
§ The Minister of Supply (Sir Andrew Duncan)Adequate stocks of printing paper to meet the present demand are held in the provinces by papermakers and paper merchants. I am not satisfied that further sub-division of those stocks would be advantageous. If my hon. 1708 Friend has any particular difficulty in mind, I shall be happy to look into it if he will furnish me with particulars.
