HC Deb 21 May 1940 vol 361 c34W
Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury at what cost separate departmental telephone directories are printed monthly for the principal Departments of State; and will he consider whether cyclostyled directories could be made available less periodically as an economy measure?

Captain Crookshank

Only one Department has a printed telephone directory issued monthly, the cost being approximately £115 an issue. To duplicate this directory by cyclostyle process would increase the paper consumption. It is proposed, however, to economise by the use of smaller type, and the possibility of a smaller or less frequent issue will also be investigated.
