§ 66. Mr. Gammansasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why lead pencils marked, "Made in the U.S.A.," are being used by Government Departments and, in particular, at the Royal Armoured Corps Records Office, Enfield; and if he is satisfied that there are not sufficient British-made pencils available.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThese supplies are from surplus war stocks left by American forces and handed over to the Stationery Office; issues to Government Departments are being made concurrently with British-made pencils. The latter are readily obtainable.
