HC Deb 24 April 1947 vol 436 c125W
77. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power why he is starting the new monthly magazine "Coal," in view of the restrictions imposed on the promotion of new publications and the continued cut in newsprint allocations to existing publications; and what is the annual allocation of newsprint.

Mr. Shinwell

This magazine will be published by the National Coal Board and I understand that it will replace a number of house journals formerly issued by individual companies. No allocation of newsprint has been made for it, but the Stationery Office will supply the necessary paper, and the National Coal Board will defray the cost.
