§ 48. Sir John Mellorasked the Minister of Food the number of amending notices, G. 1569A, issued to correct errors in G. 1569; and what was the approximate cost of printing and postage, respectively.
§ Dr. SummerskillApproximately 285,300 copies. The cost of printing was £54. I regret I cannot state the exact cost of postage; wherever possible the Circular was included with other matter which was being sent to the trader.
§ Sir J. MellorWill the hon. Lady say what would have been the cost for postage at commercial rates?
§ Dr. SummerskillI will let the hon. Member know that.
§ Sir J. MellorWould the hon. Lady agree that she has already given it in the form of a letter, and will she not give it to the House?
§ Dr. SummerskillCertainly. I had forgotten I had already given it to the hon. Member. I wonder, therefore, why he asked me the question, but I will remind him that the cost was £920.
§ Major PooleDoes the hon. Lady know whether the hon. Member who asked this Question has ever made a mistake?
