HC Deb 20 February 1940 vol 357 cc1178-9W
Mr. Butcher

asked the Minister of Supply whether his attention has been drawn to the continued use of excessive tinfoil and paper on many commodities; and whether he proposes to limit the supplies available for this purpose?

Mr. Burgin

An announcement in the Press on 9th February called attention to the restrictions placed on the supply of paper by the Control of Paper (No. 8) Order and to the need for economy in the use of paper for packing. It has not so far been found necessary to restrict the use of tinfoil for wrapping purposes.
