HC Deb 18 February 1947 vol 433 c150W
84. Mr. Monslow

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the Paper Control Board refused to agree to an allocation of paper to the Barrow Printing Company for the publication of an industrial guide for the borough of Barrow-in-Furness.

Mr. Belcher

The application, was refused owing to the shortage of paper. There are however certain stocks of paper in the hands of printers and merchants for the supply of which no licence is necessary and which may be used in such cases as this.
