HC Deb 31 July 1940 vol 363 c1248W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that many retail newsagents are suffering considerable loss owing to the no-returns order, particularly when supplies are delayed owing to air-raids; and whether he will permit a small percentage of returns on condition this waste paper is remade?

Mr. H. Morrison

Arrangements are being made to secure that, although all newspapers will still be sold on a non-returnable basis, claims for the return of unsold copies may be permitted in exceptional circumstances.
