§ 90. Mr. Douglas Marshallasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the coming holiday season and the wish to gain invisible exports and to give our hard-worked people a holiday, if he will consider making available a greater supply of paper for the publication of guides.
§ Mr. BelcherA substantial increase in the amount of paper for this purpose was given in November last and, having in 35 mind the paper supply position, it is regretted that no further increase can be made at the present time.
§ Captain Francis Noel-BakerCan the Minister say whether it is, or is not, Government policy to encourage tourists in the coming holiday season?
§ Mr. BelcherYes, it is certainly our policy to encourage the tourist trade in the future, but I am asked a Question about paper supply. I think the facts about the restricted paper supply in this country are sufficiently well known.
§ Sir Wavell WakefieldWill the Minister consider allocating greater amounts of paper to those engaged in making up export trade journals and catalogues for visible exports?
§ Mr. BelcherThat is a totally different question.
