HC Deb 19 January 1943 vol 386 c64W
Sir A. Baillie

asked the Secretary of State for War, in view of the fact that such volumes as the Penguin series cost 3s. 6d. in Palestine, whether Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes are permitted to sell these books and, if so, at what price?

Sir J. Grigg

Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes do not sell Penguin books in Palestine, but arrangements exist for then supply to units both at home and overseas from the Services Central Book Depot on very reasonable terms. Under this scheme large numbers of such books have been sent to Middle East for distribution to Palestine among other places.
