§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has considered a pamphlet, occupying 26 quarto pages of expensive paper circularised by a utility undertaking, details of which have been submitted to him, for propaganda purposes and serving no immediate essential need; and whether, in view of the restriction of paper for educational books which is crippling teaching in the schools, he will seek powers to prohibit waste of this nature.
§ Mr. H. WilsonAccording to the records of the Paper Control, no paper has been specifically licensed for the production of the pamphlet to which the hon. Member refers. It has apparently been printed on paper obtained from supplies for which no specific licence is required. It would be impracticable to prohibit the use of paper in pamphlets generally and I could not undertake to set up a system of licensing paper for individual pamphlets where the quantity involved is small.
