§ Mr. Sumbergasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the price of the Official Report.
§ Mr. BrookeFollowing a review by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, I have authorised an increase of 75p in the price of the daily part, with proportionate increases in the prices of the weekly part and fortnightly index. The price of Standing Committee debates will be increased by £1.05, bound volumes by £3.00, and the volume index by 30p. Subscription rates and the scale of charges for reprints of Members' speeches appearing in theOfficial Report will also be raised. Despite these increases, Hansard will still receive a substantial subsidy.
