HC Deb 17 January 1945 vol 407 c182W
Major Neven-Spence

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to increase the paper quota available to the medical group of publishers in order to counteract the growing decline in the production of medical books.

Captain Waterhouse

Quotas of paper are based on publishers' pre-war usage and do not vary with the types of books they produce. My right hon. Friend, however, arranged last autumn for a substantial increase in the special reserve for books of particular importance, including medical books, which publishers cannot produce from their quotas.
