§ Mr. BALDWINThe estimated expenditure of £60,000 for the year ending 31st March, 1921, under Class 2, 24 F, is the anticipated expenditure on new machinery, etc., which will be required for the seven printing works (other than the printing works at Harrow) which are under the management and control of the Stationery Office. The figure estimated does not include any costs in regard to the erection of new Government printing works. No additional works have been commenced, nor are any contemplated. The work undertaken in these printing factories is general printing (confidential and otherwise) for Government Departments, previously done under contract.
