§ Mr. Saltasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that the amount of paper now available for the production of scientific journals published by the Cambridge University Press and other similar bodies is down to 30 per cent. of pre-war supplies and may shortly be reduced to 19½ per cent.; and whether, since this reduction causes delay of many months in the publication of results of research and therefore in their practical application, he will review the whole question of paper supplies for technical and scientific journals and ensure that technological developments essential in the national interest are not obstructed?
§ Sir A. DuncanThe journals of learned societies are treated more favourably than periodicals generally, and I am glad to assure my hon. Friend that there is no present intention to reduce the quotas.
