HC Deb 16 March 1948 vol 448 c220W
69. Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent the "Radio Times" is exempt from the newsprint restrictions imposed in July, 1947, which reduced the consumption of newsprint by 10 per cent. and pegged all circulations; and if he is aware of the exceptional increase in the Midland Region of the sales of the "Radio Times" as compared with all provincial newspapers in that area which have had their circulation pegged.

Mr. Belcher

The paper consumption of the "Radio Times," in common with that of other periodicals, is prescribed, but within these limits there is freedom to adjust the size and number of the copies distributed.
