§ Lieutenant-Colonel Colvilleasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that there is under-employment in esparto paper mills; and whether he will consider the advisability of modifying the restrictions imposed by Control of Paper Order No. 20, to which the lack of orders for this class of paper is attributed?
§ Sir A. DuncanI am informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour and National Service that there is some unemployment in esparto paper mills. The supplies of home produced paper-making materials enable some of the restrictions on the use of paper made from those materials to be relaxed for a time, and an Order for that purpose will be issued shortly.
