HC Deb 08 February 1980 vol 978 c369W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Lord Privy Seal what newspapers are produced by his Department; what is their function; how many people they employ; to whom they are distributed; and what is the total cost to public funds per annum.

Sir Ian Gilmour

One—"Overseas Development". Its function is to provide information about the activities of the Overseas Development Administration. Three staff currently work on this for one quarter of their time each, and others contribute. It is distributed six times each year to Overseas Development Administration and allied staffs working on development, at home and overseas; overseas Governments; MPs and European MPs; educational bodies; and development groups. The total reckonable cost covering staff, printing and distribution is about £46,000 a year.
