HC Deb 18 June 1917 vol 94 c1451W
Mr. PETO

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the "Kew Bulletin" has been suspended, and, if so, by whose authority; whether his Department is responsible; in view of the importance of this publication, and of the information from other countries received in exchange for it, will he reconsider the decision; in the alternative, whether he can state what is the annual cost of issuing the "Bulletin"; and whether, if this is subscribed from private resources, he will continue it as an official publication?

Sir R. WINFREY

The "Kew Bulletin" was suspended by the Stationery Office in consultation with the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries. The whole matter is, however, at present under reconsideration, and I hope that it will be found possible to arrange for the continuation of the publication.
