§ Sir Geoffrey HoweThe total cost to public funds for the supply of the Vote bundle as a whole in this Session up to the end of April, is estimated at £4.1 million. The volume of paper consumed in production of the Vote bundle for the same period is 159 tonnes.
It is not possible to produce the estimated cost to public funds of printing the individual categories of the Vote bundle without incurring disproportionate expense.
