§ Dr. O'DONOVANasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the sales today of the different volumes of the Morris-Carter Land Commission Report; what is the cost of each such report; what is expected to be the loss on each of them; and whether this will be borne by the British taxpayer or the Kenya taxpayer?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe cost of printing the volume containing the Morris-Carter Land Commission Report (£997) was borne by His Majesty's Stationery Office, and that of printing the three volumes of evidence (£3,778) by the Government of Kenya. Figures showing the cost of each volume of evidence separately are not available. Up to date the Stationery Office has sold to members of the public 205 copies of the report of a face value of £112 15s., and 16 sets of the evidence of a face value of £96. I have no information with regard to sales in Kenya.
