§ 115. Sir R. Glynasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what tonnage of newsprint it is anticipated will be in demand from certain British Colonies who, in the past, have been small consumers but who, as the result of greater literacy, are now demanding increasing supplies; and from what source it is expected that these demands can be met.
§ Mr. J. DugdaleThe hon. Member does not say which Colonies he has in mind. The Colonies as a whole need about the same tonnage of newsprint in 1951 as this year. In the main they have been obtaining their supplies from Canada and Scandinavia, but there is an allocation of 5,000 tons from this country.
