HC Deb 22 February 2000 vol 344 cc988-9W
Mr. Crausby

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of documentation used by his Department is(a) made from recycled paper and (b) collected for recycling. [111599]

Mr. Timms

The Treasury does not purchase recycled paper. However, the paper purchased is produced using an ECF/TCF bleaching process and the paper fibres are obtained from a sustainable source. Approximately 74 per cent. of paper purchased is collected for recycling.
