§ Ms Rosie WintertonMy Department was charged a total of £48,710.50 by The Stationery Office Ltd. (TSO) for publication of our latest annual report. The total number of copies of the report printed, as opposed to those supplied to my Department under the terms of the contract, is a matter of commercial judgment by TSO and not disclosed to us. I understand 362 copies of the report have been sold at the cover price of £23.50. My Department was supplied with a further 1,250 copies under the terms of our contract with TSO. Approximately 1,150 of these were distributed internally (including to our agencies and sister Departments) with the balance being used for promotional purposes. The report is also available to view on my Department's website (www.lcd.gov.uk/deprep0102/index.htm).
