§ Mr. Rees-Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that there is a shortage of, need and demand for, British magazines, ' periodicals and newspapers in Germany; and whether he will launch an appeal for literature of the above types to the reading public in this country for distribution to Germans.
§ Mr. J. HyndI am aware of this requirement and steps are being taken to meet it. An appeal has already been made to a number of organisations in this country, with good results, for British publications suitable for display in information rooms for the German public. The number of these information rooms is being considerably increased and I should welcome help from other organisations or individuals. Contributions or inquiries should be addressed to the German Servicing Desk, Control Office for Germany and Austria, Norfolk House, St. James's Square, S.W. I. If the flow of publications proves insufficient for our increased needs I will consider launching a wider appeal.
