HC Deb 11 March 1941 vol 369 cc1152-3
48. Mr. Mander

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the average daily sales of the Official Report for the month of February, 1939, 1940, and 1941?

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Crookshank)

The average number of copies sold of Daily Reports of House of Commons Debates published during the month of February, 1939 and 1940, is as follows: February, 1939, 1,169 copies; February, 1940, 1,325 copies. Statistics of copies sold for the month of February, 1941, are not yet available.

Mr. Mander

Will my right hon. and gallant Friend let me know the figure as soon as it becomes available?

Captain Crookshank

I am afraid that it will be some time, because the month for which we have the latest figure is November. The hon. Member will have to wait a bit, but I will let him have it.
