HC Deb 29 April 1947 vol 436 c206W
Mr. Touche

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of the output of paper mills, whose production is being limited by a 50 per cent. allocation of coal, will be required for Government purposes; and if he will give an assurance that adequate supplies of paper will be available for business and commercial purposes.

Sir S. Cripps

The Stationery Office requirements for Government purposes in the current licensing period amount to approximately 5 per cent. of the total allocations of paper other than newsprint. I am not at present able to say how much paper will be available owing to the effects of the fuel cuts.
