§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister for the Civil Service how many requests have been made since 1st January 1974 to Her Majesty's Stationery Office, both centrally and at bookshops, orally and in writing, for copies of the Epping Forest Act 1878; if printed copies were available during that period; how many photocopies they have supplied in that time; and what are the respective costs of a printed copy and a photocopy.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisPrinted copies of the Epping Forest Act 1878 were not available during the period. The information concerning written and oral requests for the Act is not readily available and could not be obtained without disproportionate cost. Only one photocopy of the Act has been ordered since 1st January 1974. The Act consists of 33 pages and the cost of a photocopy, at 7p a page, is £2.31. Given the very low demand for this Act a reprint could not be justified.
