HC Deb 10 December 1946 vol 431 c981
68. Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the fact that the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee's Report on Reconditioning was received by the printers in July, but is not expected to be ready for publication until the middle of January, indicates that the existing printing works of His Majesty's Stationery Office are quite inadequate, and that some expansion is urgently needed, he will consider setting up printing works in Scotland for the printing of Reports and White Papers dealing with Scottish affairs and any other official documents, such as telephone directories and electoral registers which relate exclusively to Scotland.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Glenvil Hall)

No, Sir.

Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

Why not?

Mr. Hall

I think the hon. Member is labouring under a misapprehension. If he would like to see me afterwards, I will explain the whole thing to him.
