§ Mr. Tinkerasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the serving men overseas are asking for newspapers from this country; and what steps his Department is taking to get newspapers to them as quickly as the transport will permit.
§ Sir J. GriggTroops fighting in North-West Europe have from the outset been supplied—usually by air—with daily 377W newspapers in considerable quantities. It has not hitherto been possible so to supply troops in more distant theatres and they have had to rely largely on newspapers produced locally. I hope, however, that it will shortly be possible to fly out an appreciable supply.
