HC Deb 21 July 1943 vol 391 c913W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the large surplus of straw expected as a result of the 1943 harvest and of the shortage of paper, steps will be taken to liberate sufficient steel for the purpose of some extra paper-making machinery?

Sir A. Duncan

Yes, Sir. Steps are being taken to increase further the consumption of straw, in place of other materials, for paper and board production and the necessary steel will be made available.
