asked the Minister of Supply if he will give an assurance that ample supplies of specially thin paper, suitable for sending election addresses by air-mail to Service voters overseas, will be available instantly to paper merchants or printers holding certificates from candidates at the coming General Election.

Yes, Sir. Special stocks of such paper will be available for merchants and printers to draw upon for election addresses for voters overseas.

asked the Minister of Supply what is the form of certificate to be issued by Parliamentary candidates, through their agents, to paper merchants or printers; and how soon and where such certificates will be available.

The terms of the required certificate are appended. They have been brought to the attention of all merchants, of the headquarters of the political parties, and of the British Federation of Master Printers for the information of their members. The certificate can be typed or printed by any candidate's agent or by his printer or merchant, provided it is signed by the agent.
