HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 cc275-6W
Mr. HURD

asked the Minister of Food what was the circulation of the last issue of the National Food Journal; and how long has it been the practice of the Department to swell the circulation of this journal by sending four free copies of an issue to one individual in envelopes bearing the national economy label?

Mr. McCURDY

The circulation of the last issue of the National Food Journal was 66,000 copies. I have made enquiries into the case referred to in the second part of the question, and find that it is a fact that two free copies regularly sent to a Canadian journal were by error duplicated. I am unable to find any other instances of a mistake of this kind.
