Major D. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to a large 254-page index to the War Office "Daily Review of the Foreign Press" for May to October, 1918, which has just been issued; what is the cost of this production; what purpose is it intended to fulfil; and whether, in view of the urgent need for economy, he will prevent the issue of such publications in future?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe index to the "Daily Review of the Foreign Press" is being issued in parts to various Government offices, public bodies and Members of Parliament, to whom the "Daily Review" was sent. The "Review" and its Supplements would be of little use for reference purposes without such an index. The cost of production is £412.
