HC Deb 09 June 1947 vol 438 cc75-6W
Mr. Battley

asked the Secretary to the Treasury to what extent His Majesty's Stationery Office and electoral registration officers are finding difficulty in placing contracts for the printing of lists and registers of electors; and what steps he is taking to divert the labour and materials at present employed in printing for pool organisations and betting industries to the printing of these lists and registers.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

There is a temporary difficulty in parts of London and Surrey, which, however, should prove not insuperable.
