HC Deb 13 May 2004 vol 421 cc560-1W
Norman Baker

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what percentage of paper for printed publications used by the Department in 2002–03 was from recycled sources; and how much post-consumer waste this paper contained. [167733]

Mr. Alexander

Since August 2002 all printing contractors used by the Cabinet Office use the cross-departmental framework contract for the supply of recycled paper for printed publications. Paper supplied is 100 per cent. recycled with a minimum post consumer waste content of 75 per cent.
