§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of the total paper used annually by his Department is recycled paper; and what savings the use of this paper represents in cash terms and as a proportion of the total expenditure on paper by his Department.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerA total of 11 tonnes of recycled paper has been ordered for letter-headed notepaper and matching envelopes and about half has been distributed. Figures for total paper consumption are not readily available and percentages and costs cannot be given.
Annual savings in cash terms are currently in the region of £5,500.
