§ Mr. W. J. Brownasked the President of the Board of Trade on what grounds the recent increase of 10 per cent. in the issue of newsprint to newspapers was restricted to the purpose of increasing the circulation of the papers and not allowed to be used to increase their size; and whether he will remove this limitation.
§ Mr. Ellis SmithThe reason for the recent increase in the allocation of newsprint was that it was thought desirable to enable newspapers to meet the public's demands for additional copies. It is not at present possible to provide more paper than is needed for that purpose.
