HC Deb 25 November 1941 vol 376 cc609-10W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether he will permit retailers to use up for wrapping purposes paper they have in stock and thus enable it to become available later for salvage purposes instead of being kept unused in store?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

In view of the paper shortage, it is not possible to make any relaxation of the Order. A retailer who has more wrapping paper in stock than he requires for his own permitted purposes should dispose of the surplus for uses which are allowed.
