asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many copies have been produced of the report Making it Happen: The Northern Waytogether with the associated publications, Creating sustainable communities: making it happen for the North East, South East, East Midlands, West Midlands, South West, London, North West,Yorkshire and the Humber and East of England; what is the cost of (a) compiling, writing and editing and (b) printing and distributing these publications; to whom have these publications been circulated; and through which outlets they are available to interested members of the public and organisations. [HL1563]

Lord Rooker

The compilation, writing and editing ofMaking it Happen: The Northern Way was carried out in the normal course of business, across the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and other government departments. It is therefore not possible to separate out these costs.

Due to high demand, the document and accompanying regional annexes are in their third reprint. Design, typesetting, printing and distribution costs total £64,379.

Copies of the statement were distributed to a range of stakeholders identified as having an interest in the Sustainable Communities Plan or as key to its delivery, and to all Members of Parliament.

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has also sent out copies on request. Additional copies are available at:
