HC Deb 05 February 1918 vol 101 cc2108-9W
Colonel FABER

asked the Prime Minister whether the supply of paper to newspapers, including weekly provincial papers, will rank next in priority after Government requirements have been met; and whether sufficient quantities of paper can be reserved and allotted to them?

Mr. WARDLE

The Prime Minister has asked me to answer this question. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which the President of the Board of Trade gave to a question addressed to him on 31st January by the hon. Member for Wilton.
