§ Dr. CableTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many departmental publications are in storage; and where they are located. [183874]
§ Ruth KellyThe majority of requests for publications are met by the Treasury's website, www.hm-treasury. gov.uk.
Approximately 15 copies of each recent Treasury publication are held centrally to fulfil requests from members of the public without internet access, with larger quantities held for documents that are likely to attract considerable interest. Materials to help UK businesses deal with the euro as a foreign currency are held by an outside distributor in Manchester.
Treasury teams also hold some stocks of publications for their own use.
