§ Mr. Cormackasked the Lord President of the Council if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT figures showing the cost of printing and publishing Her Majesty's Gracious Speech in March 1974 and October 1974, respectively.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisI have been asked to reply.
The cost of printing and publishing Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech to both Houses of Parliament was £204 in March 1974 and £212 in October 1974; but for a number of reason the speech published in March 1974 was offered for sale at somewhat less than the full cost of printing.
