HC Deb 25 July 1984 vol 64 c708W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the cost of publishing and distributing his Department's booklet, "Northern Ireland"; and to whom it has been distributed.

Mr. Whitney

The identifiable cost of publishing and distributing the latest edition of "Northern Ireland— A Brief Survey", issued in conjunction with the Northern Ireland Office, was £3,143.

Approximately 2,000 copies have been sent to posts abroad for distribution to local officials, opinion formers and members of the public. Copies are available in this country on request.

Another 1,000 were distributed to visiting correspondents during the economic summit in June.
