§ 6. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Minister of Labour what steps he proposes to take to release or direct the necessary labour to enable the publishers to make use of the additional paper recently allocated to them by the Board of Trade and Ministry of Supply.
§ Mr. BevinI cannot accept the implication that an increase in the supply of paper necessarily involves an increase in the amount of labour required for printing. Nevertheless, I appreciate that there are difficulties at the present time in supplying adequate labour for printing, and this general question is under discussion with the industry.
