§ 106. Mr. Shackletonasked the Secretary for Overseas Trade, as representing the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, how much additional newsprint was allowed to the newspapers for use in connection with the 1951 General Election; and, if, in future, he will ensure that such special issues are used only for the purposes intended.
§ Mr. H. StraussI have been asked to reply. About 7,500 tons. It would be impossible to check exactly how each newspaper used its allowance, but my information is that in general the additional newsprint was used for the purpose for which it was intended.
