§ 77. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the factsheets on Great Britain and Europe were produced on a size of paper approximately one-and-a-half times too big, which required paper trimming 47 per cent. above normal; and what was the additional cost of this to public funds.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe paper supplied for the printing of the first two Factsheets necessitated trimming at a cost approximately £260. The remaining nine required normal trimming at no additional cost.
The Compendium of the Factsheets was printed on paper supplied by some of the contractors and it is known that one used large-width reels to obtain the correct width for printing. This involved no additional cost to public funds.
