HC Deb 28 October 1970 vol 805 cc125-6W
33. Mr. William Price

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he is satisfied with security in respect of House of Commons notepaper and envelopes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitelaw

Notepaper and envelopes are supplied in bulk by the Serjeant at Arms' Stores only to Members and their secretaries. It is therefore up to each Member to make sure that no unofficial use is made of such paper. Although there is some risk of pilferage from the racks in the House, the authori- ties of the House are satisfied that there is no widespread abuse.
