HL Deb 29 October 1984 vol 456 c432WA
Lord Boyd-Carpenter

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make a statement on the price of the Official Report.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Arts (The Earl of Gowrie)

Following a review by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, my honourable friend the Minister of State, Treasury, has authorised an increase of 45p in the price of the daily part, with corresponding increases in the prices of weekly parts, indexes, bound volumes and subscription rates. The scale of charges for reprints of Peers' speeches appearing in theOfficial Report will also be raised. Despite these increases Hansard will still receive a substantial subsidy.
