§ Colonel BURNasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he will amend the Paper Restrictions (Prohibition of Returns) Order, 1918, by fixing prices to the retailer for publications under this Order, such prices not to exceed two-thirds of the published price in order to ensure the public regularity as to receiving their papers and to safeguard retailers from a possible heavy loss; and if he will consider the appointment of a representative of the retail traders on his advisory staff?
§ Mr. WARDLEMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The President of the Board of Trade regrets that he does not see his way to adopt these suggestions.
