HC Deb 11 May 1990 vol 172 c242W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has on how many Natural Environment Research Council publications were printed on 100 per cent. recycled paper in the last year.

Mr. Jackson

No Natural Environment Research Council publications were printed on 100 per cent. recycled paper in the last year: the council considers that the technology for recycling paper has not yet produced a product of sufficient quality for high definition colour printing. The NERC's "in-house" newspaper is printed on 85 per cent. recycled paper and all NERC's stationery and photocopy paper is either 100 per cent. recycled or based upon recycled paper.
