§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what response he has received to his letter to the proprietors of national newspapers on the percentage of recycled paper in newsprint used by them.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryI have received responses so far from the following:
- Today
- The Guardian
- The Daily Telegraph
- The Sunday Correspondent
- Daily Mail and General Trust
- Associated Newspapers
- Express Newspapers
- Lonrho
- News International
The responses to date indicate that there is a substantial variation in the use of recycled paper by newspapers, although differences of definition do not facilitate direct comparisons. We intend to follow up these and any further responses with the proprietors of the newspapers concerned and with the Newspaper Publishers Association and the Newspaper Society.
