§ 99. Mr. C. S. Taylorasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that students in radio engineering are unable to obtain text-books and periodicals on the subject; and whether he will make more paper available for such publications.
§ Mr. BelcherPaper supplies continue to be difficult, but over the last nine months the general quotas for book publishers have been increased from 42½per cent. of prewar usage to 75 per cent., and for periodicals from 22½per cent, to 28½per cent. In addition, it is open to any publisher who cannot bring out an important text book merely from lack of paper to apply for an additional allocation for that purpose.
