HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c99W
89. Mr. Skeffington

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportions of newsprint are being obtained from dollar and non-dollar sources in 1949; and whether any further increase in supplies can be envisaged.

Mr. Bottomley

In 1949, as at present planned, approximately 70 per cent. of our newsprint should he obtained from home production; of the balance nearly two-thirds will be drawn from dollar sources. It is hoped that there may be some further improvement in our total supplies during the year.
