§ Mr. BoyesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all White Papers, Green Papers and pamphlets issued by his Department, or agencies for which it is responsible, in 1994 giving, in each case, the total cost to the Exchequer of their production, publication and distribution; and what was the total equivalent cost in 1980.
§ Mr. Lang[holding answer 2 March 1995]: In 1994 my Department published two Command Papers. In addition, a wide range of other documents including consultation documents and pamphlets was issued. Detailed information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
In respect of those publications published by HMSO, all costs are borne by HMSO, which aims to recover these from sales revenue.
