1. REPORTS PROM SERVICE ADVISERS.

2. STATIONERY OFFICE PRINTING.

Mr. Royds drew attention to a Ministry of Labour Memorandum on Labour for Stationery Office Printing (LP (44)147). The Board agreed that while there were trade papers which could be suspended, there were also many unessential books and periodicals, and that there was no justification for singling out trade papers to meet the labour needs of the Stationery Office. The Secretary was asked to draw the attention of the Minister's office to this view.
