HC Deb 15 November 1956 vol 560 c1109
12. Mr. R. Edwards

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the extent to which the importation of paper and newsprint will be affected as a result of the Middle East situation.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

The direct effect of the Middle East situation on imports of paper and newsprint is likely to be negligible, since all the newsprint and nearly all the paper we import comes from North America and Europe.
