51. Mr. Tinker

asked the Minister of Supply whether he has now completed his further consideration of the use of labour and material that is taken by advertising goods, etc., in newspapers and on hoardings; and is he now in a position to make a statement?

The Minister of Supply (Sir Andrew Duncan)

Yes, Sir. Reductions have been made recently in the rations of paper for newspapers and periodicals; and an Order is about to be 'issued which will drastically restrict the use of paper for advertising by posters and circulars.
