§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made in extending the use of recycled stationery throughout his Department.
§ Mr. Chris Patten[holding answer 13 February 1990]: All letterheaded paper now ordered for used within my Department is recycled. The buff envelopes we use contain at least 50 per cent. recycled paper. We are also conducting trials of the use of recycled photocopying paper in medium-speed photocopying machines, and considering a trial of recycled computer listing paper.
