HC Deb 19 November 1941 vol 376 cc364-5W
Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether it is still the practice to allow periodicals not more than 20 per cent. of their pre-war supplies of paper; and what weekly private publications receive a greater percentage?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

Periodicals have in general been allowed to use paper at the rate of 22½ per cent. of their prewar consumption; but to meet special circumstances some periodicals have been allowed limited additional supplies. The amount of the general ration for the future and of any additions is now under consideration.
