HC Deb 30 July 1947 vol 441 cc56-7W
74. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the B.B.C. have announced that their publication "London Calling" is to be increased in size; and whether, in view of the reduction in allocation of newsprint of daily papers, he will take steps to ensure that a similar reduction is effected in the case of this publication.

Mr. Burke

"London Calling" is a weekly journal produced for sale overseas, and, as my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury explained on 22nd July, the newsprint cut does not apply to weekly periodicals.
