To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions 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. [80920]

Numerous responses have been received to my Department's consultation documents and we are grateful to the many organisations and individuals who have taken the time to let us have their views. My Department has no plans to pay postal costs incurred by organisations that responded.
