HC Deb 23 February 1982 vol 18 cc357-8W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the cost to Her Majesty's Government of using the Post Office data post system for distributing Her Majesty's Government's pay offer to civil servants.

Mr. Hayhoe [pursuant to his reply, 22 February 1982, c. 286]

All Departments regularly distribute management information to staff. The cost is part of their general administrative expenses. A detailed breakdown is not held centrally, and the information requested could not be provided without a disproportionate expenditure of time and resources.
