§ Commander King-Hallasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what percentage of public libraries in this country now subscribe to the OFFICIAL REPORTS of this House.
§ Mr. Dribergasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what percentage of the total quantity of paper consumed annually in publications of all kinds is repesented by the three tons a year saved by withholding from hon. Members of this House the free issue of bound volumes of HANSARD.
§ Mr. PeakeThe amount of paper used annually for newspapers, books and periodicals is about 350,000 tons. The percentage for which the hon. Member asks is therefore clearly small, but perhaps I may leave the arithmetic to him.
