HC Deb 10 January 1995 vol 252 c116W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make it her policy that all Government Departments NHS and NHS trust authorities and other non-departmental public bodies should publish all reports on recycled paper.

Mr. Sackville

Departments are encouraged to purchase paper and board containing as much recycled fibre as possible without impairing performance. National health service and NHS trust authorities, along with other non-departmental public bodies, make their own purchasing decisions, but we would expect them to consider the environmental issue.
