HC Deb 25 May 1943 vol 389 c1407W
Mr. W. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied with the supply of books and literature to the Forces in North Africa; and, if not, what steps he proposes to take to improve the situation?

Sir J. Griǵǵ

As a result of the arrangements I described in an answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Thirsk and Malton (Mr. Turton) on 6th April, of which I will send the hon. Member a copy, the troops in North Africa are now reasonably well supplied with books and other reading matter. I would not go so far as to say that I was satisfied but everything possible is being done to maintain and improve the supply.
