Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will pay the postal costs of voluntary bodies and registered charities requested to respond to Government consultation documents; and if he will make a statement. [80919]

We have received numerous responses to our consultation documents and we are grateful to the many organisations and individuals who have taken the time to let us have their views. We have no plans to pay postal costs incurred by organisations who responded.
