HC Deb 29 April 1974 vol 872 cc393-4W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what steps he proposes to Press, he will seek to ascertain the percentage of operating costs of national newspapers which is accounted for by the cost of newsprint, and the change in this percentage over the last 12 months.

Mr. Deakins

These are not matters on which precise information is available from official sources. Previous inquiries have taken account of such economic factors, and they would no doubt be looked at again as part of any further inquiry.
