HC Deb 27 April 1994 vol 242 c165W
Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the President of the Board of Trade for how many regular publications he was responsible in 1993–94 or the latest year for which figures are available; what was their circulation; and how many were obtainable by subscription.

Mr. Eggar

The Department publishes a regular "Guide for Business" available free on request to United Kingdom firms with a current print run of 75,000 and the yearly "Expenditure Plans" report—DTI's annual report—which is a sale publication via Her Majesty's Stationery Office. Two regular magazines are also distributed free of charge: "Overseas Trade" with a circulation of 32,000, with copies available to exporting firms, and "Review" with a circulation of 30,000 and available to those interested in renewable energy.

A number of other annual reports, regular bulletins and newsletters on various business, energy and consumer issues are published. A comprehensive list is not held centrally but some of the main publications are listed in the "Guide for Business" and the "Expenditure Plans" report.
