HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 cc309-10W
Mr. Ellis

asked the Lord President of the Council why it was decided to stop the issue of the quarto size of stationery for the use of hon. Members.

Mr. Peart

Quarto size stationery with the blue and red crests is now being made available to Members. There has been some shortage, but ample supplies should soon be available.

Mr. Ellis

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the result of the questionnaire sent to Members on the types and sizes of stationery that they use.

Mr. Peart

As stated in the Seventh Report of the Services Committee of last Session, the main points that emerged from four hundred replies from Members were that about half wanted the supply of quarter size writing paper to be continued, and there was a large majority in favour of the new green headed paper.
