HC Deb 29 May 1940 vol 361 c555W
Mr. Chorlton

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the uneconomic position in which the paper trade of this country have been placed owing to stringent orders which have necessarily been imposed on the production of paper by the Paper Controller without a corresponding alteration in the price of the finished product; what recommendations have been made to him by the Paper Controller for increased prices; when such recommendations were made; and when he proposes to give his decision?

Mr. H. Morrison

An Order was made on 24th May increasing the maximum prices which may be charged for paper.
