HC Deb 16 October 1996 vol 282 c953W
Mr. Byers

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many copies of "The Social Chapter-British and Continental Approaches" have been printed; and what is the total cost including research, printing and distribution. [40761]

Mr. John M. Taylor

Forty thousand copies of the booklet have been printed. It is planned that a smaller number of copies will be produced in French, German, Italian and Spanish for distribution in other EU member states.

The text was prepared internally, so no external costs for research were incurred. It is not possible to quantify the staff time involved. The final cost of design, printing and distribution is expected to be in the region of £25,000.
