HC Deb 06 March 1989 vol 148 cc428-9W
Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the cost of the "Environment in Trust" leaflets published on 1 March; how many have been printed; and what was the total cost of the hire and use of the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre on 1 March.

Mr. Ridley

The one-off costs of creative design and artwork for the "Environment in Trust" series of leaflets are £117,594. The initial print of 25,000 leaflets has cost £99,760. The cost of the hire and use of the accommodation at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre for the reception on 1 March 1989 was £2,571.

This is remarkably good value for money.
