HC Deb 04 August 1947 vol 441 c122W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the President of the Board of Trade why, in view of the cut in newsprint enforced upon British newspapers, the Soviet News continues to receive, undiminished, an allocation of newsprint which allows it to continue the issue of a four folio page journal daily; and if he will review this position.

Sir S. Cripps

The allocation for this publication, in common with other foreign Government-sponsored journals which have been specially licensed to be published under the Paper Control Orders, is fixed on the advice of the Central Office of Information at the minimum quantity considered appropriate, and this quantity is constantly under review.
