HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 c225W
86. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what priorities are fixed in the printing of official publications at His Majesty's Stationery Office; and what are the current delays for printing in each priority.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Official printing is distributed over a wide range of contractors as well as the Stationery Office presses. The institution of fixed priority classes is not feasible, but every effort is made to meet the urgent needs, first, of Parliament, and secondly, of Departments.
