HC Deb 01 July 1947 vol 439 c139W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of the 20 per cent. allowance of paper for book publishing is allotted to educational books for use in this country, as contrasted with books for export; and whether he is aware that the scarcity particularly affects books of university standard, and is thus impeding higher education.

Sir S. Cripps

I am aware of the scarcity of educational books of university standard. No proportion has been laid down as between educational books and books for export, since some publishers are better able to produce the one and some the other.
