§ 41. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the cost of the Blue Paper on Decimalisation, issued in January, 1969, shows an increase from 1½d. to 2½d. in price per page over the similar document issued in December, 1966; and why this charge was made.
§ Mr. Harold LeverMost Parliamentary Papers, including the two Command Papers referred to by the hon. Member, are priced by the Stationery Office on the basis of standard scales related to the number of pages. These scale charges have been increased during the three years separating publication of these two items to cover increased printing and paper costs and higher overhead charges.
