§ Mr. BayleyTo ask the Lord President of the Council how many official Christmas cards he and his Ministers intend to send in 1994; how much these cards will cost(a) to buy, (b) to post and (c) in staff time to sign, address and place in envelopes; and if he will place in the Library 1166W a sample copy of the official Christmas card he intends to send this year.
§ Mr. NewtonThis year I expect to send about 200 Christmas cards. The cost of purchasing and posting these cards will be £150, inclusive of VAT, and £38 respectively. It is not possible to estimate accurately the cost in staff time; but it would be minimal. I will arrange for an example of the Christmas card to be placed in the Library.
