§ 58. Mr. Leatherasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total cost of the newsletters published by the Regional Board for Industry; what is their purpose; and if he will give instructions that they should be discontinued.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerBulletins or newsletters are issued by six of the 11 Regional Boards for Industry at monthly or longer intervals. They provide industry with regional information on a variety of subjects such as fuel efficiency services, salvage schemes, joint consultation in industry and, frequently, certain Government and other announcements of local interest. The paper and printing cost for the six months ended September of this year was under £300.
For the small sum involved these publications serve a useful purpose.
