HC Deb 26 November 1981 vol 13 c432W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Lord President of the Council what was the annual charge made in 1980 to Charles Barker Watney and Powell for the provision of House papers.

Mr. Pym

Between October 1979 and September 1980—the nearest annual period for which figures are readily available—Charles Barker Watney and Powell purchased papers from the Sale Office to the value of £16,181. It is not possible to differentiate between the papers of the two Houses.
