§ Mr. DjanoglyTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many departmental Christmas cards she and her Ministers intend to send in966W 2002; how much these cards will cost (a) to buy, (b) to post and (c) in staff time to sign, address and place in envelopes; and if she will place in the Library a sample copy of the official Christmas card she has sent this year. [88110]
§ Dr. HowellsMinisters sent 1,120 of the 3,800 Christmas cards produced by my Department this year. The design and print costs totalled £1,985, and the majority of cards were sent by second class post.
No assessment was made of the time taken to sign, address and place cards in envelopes. However, most cards were addressed using pre-printed labels.
I am arranging for a copy of the card, which depicts a mural produced by the Crew Art Legacy Project at the Manchester Commonwealth Games, to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
