§ Mr. Walkdenasked the President of the Board of Trade why a limit has been laid down on the number of pages which may be printed according to the sale price of weekly newspapers; and whether he will review and remove this condition in respect of the allocation of newsprint for provincial weekly newspapers.
§ Mr. H. WilsonIn order that available supplies of newsprint may be equitably distributed, the maximum number of pages for any newspaper has been established according to price. I do not think that in existing circumstances the present rules need alteration.
