HC Deb 10 June 1943 vol 390 c852
69. Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Production the present position of paper supplies; and whether he feels it possible to increase the quota of paper to provide reading matter for the Fighting Services?

Mr. Garro Jones

It is necessary to exercise the utmost economy in the use of paper, but, as the hon. and gallant Member has been informed, proposals for increasing the supply of reading matter to the Fighting Services are under consideration.

Sir T. Moore

Is my hon. Friend aware that an increase of literally one-half per cent. in the present allowance would solve the problem?

Mr. Garro Jones

My hon. and gallant Friend has been informed two or three times, I think, in the last few days that the factor he has just mentioned and many others are being actively considered.
