§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list each Office of Population Censuses and Surveys monitor published since 1 January 1987, giving the title, date and numbers of copies distributed to date; how many have been distributed free of charge to(a) Government, National Health Service and other users and (b) press; and how many have been sold so far and at what price.
§ Mrs. CurrieUp to 31 December 1987. OPCS monitors were available free of charge. Following a review of published statistical data, with effect from 1 January 1988, some of the monitors were discontinued and a charging system for the continued monitors was introduced. A copy of the new arrangements has been placed in the Library.
The information requested is as follows. The sales figures are the numbers sold between 1 January and 29 April 1988.
