HC Deb 20 October 1989 vol 158 c272W
Mr. Onslow

To ask the Lord President of the Council what action is being taken to promote the use of recycled paper for House of Commons notepaper, envelopes, and other stationery.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

Many of the stationery items supplied to the House are already made from recycled material. The Accommodation and Administration Sub-Committee is fully aware of the need to increase the use of recycled paper at every suitable opportunity and has decided to re-examine the practicability of its use for the first-class stationery used by right hon. and hon. Members this autumn.
