§ Mr. CrausbyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what percentage of documentation used by his Department is(a) made from recycled paper and (b) collected for recycling. [111598]
§ Ms Beverley HughesAbout 99 per cent. of all printing procured through my Department's Print Procurement Unit is on recycled paper, containing at least 75 per cent. post consumer waste. Use of recycled paper by staff generally reached 50 per cent. in 1998–99. Recycling schemes now cover 80 per cent. of staff. Further action is planned to increase the use of recycled paper and to promote improvements in recycling paper and other items.
