HC Deb 05 December 1990 vol 182 cc154-5W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how much the Health and Safety Executive's annual report costs(a) to produce and (b) to print; how much it is sold for; how many copies are sold; and how much profit is made on it.

Mr. Forth

The costs of producing the Health and Safety Commission's annual report vary from year to year. The most recent report (for 1988–89, published in February 1990) cost approximately £34,000 to produce, of which the print costs were £14,834. The report is priced at £10; and 1,466 copies had been sold by end-October 1990. No profit has been made to date on sales of the report.
