§ Mr. A. Herbertasked the Minister of Supply whether, observing the shortage of paper, he will recommend, especially to the Defence Services, that the practice of demanding returns in triplicate, quadruplicate, and even sextuplicate be moderated, and wherever possible, abandoned?
§ Mr. BurginMy attention was drawn some little time ago to the need for economy in the use of paper by Government Departments, and in consultation with the Paper Controller and the Treasury I am taking steps to bring the1052W need for economy to the attention of Government Departments. The steps to be taken in each Department to secure economy are, of course, a matter for the Department concerned.
