HC Deb 18 February 1947 vol 433 cc961-2
26. Mr. John Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for War what total stocks of stationery and envelopes are held by his Department.

Mr. Bellenger

I assume the hon. Member is referring to stocks held by the War Office itself as a Department of State, as distinct from stocks held by units and establishments of the Army at home and abroad. The total is about 100 tons.

Mr. Morrison

Will the right hon. Gentleman take into account the increasing difficulty experienced by civilians and business organisations in getting supplies of stationery at present and in ordering, further stocks?
