§ Mr. ClappisonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his Department's spending on official publications was for(a) 1996–97, (b) 1997–98, (c) 1998–99, (d) 1999–2000 and (e) 2000–01; and what the planned expenditure is for 2001–02. [141449]
§ Mr. Straw[holding answer 11 December 2000]: Total annual figures for spending on official publications are available for the financial years 1997–98 onwards. Collated data are not available for the cost of publications produced in 1996–97. For figures 1997–98 and 1998–99, 316W I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the right hon. Member for Penrith and The Border (Mr. Maclean) on 25 October 1999, Official Report, column 693W, which confirmed annual total expenditure of 1997–98 £4,600,752 and 1998–99 £4,339,587 respectively.
The total expenditure for 1999–2000 was £3,348,854 and current expenditure for 2000–2001 to date is £2,541,317.
It is at this time not possible to provide any figures for planned expenditure for the financial year 2001–02.
§ Mr. ClappisonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list each new publication issued by his Department since 1997; and what the total cost is to the Department of each publication. [141462]
§ Mr. Straw[holding answer 11 December 2000]: Detailed figures for the production of new publications for the Home Department are available only from 1 April 1999, when the total Department's publications budget became centralised.
Before this, individual Directorates within the Home Department were responsible for production of and payment for publications. It is not therefore possible to provide a complete list of new publications or costs prior to this date.
The following lists cover the financial years 1999–2000 and 1 April 2000 to date (6 December 2000). These costs include preparation, production and purchase of copies for official use, but not staff costs.
