Mr. Chris Smith

The Department's spending on official publications for the period 1996–97 to 2000–01 is as set out. This excludes the cost of publications produced only for internal use. Where the Department makes use of a private sector publisher the publishing and printing costs are generally met by the publisher as part of their acceptance of the risks of publication. Estimates for 2001–02 are not yet available.

Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list each new publication issued by his Department since 1997 and the total cost to the Department of each publication. [141466]

Mr. Chris Smith

The new publications issued by my Department since 1997 are as listed. Information on the cost of each document could be supplied only at disproportionate cost. I have however provided the hon. Member with overall yearly figures in answer to another question he has tabled. These figures show that we have achieved substantial savings over the sums spent in the last year of the previous Government.
