§ Mr. ButcherMy Department uses paper having a recycled content where this is consistent with operational effciency and offers good value for money. General printing and writing papers contain up to 10 per cent. recycled fibre, the buff envelopes in general use contain at least 50 per cent. recycled fibre, and some stationery items are made of 100 per cent. recycled material. Used paper is disposed of for recycling where this is consistent with economic and security considerations. Following a paper recycling commitment conference which I chaired in January 1987, a working group is exploring the scope for greater use of waste paper in the production of printing and writing papers which are acceptable to private and public sector users in terms of both quality and cost.
