asked the Secretary to the Treasury for details of the quantity and price of stationery used in the House of Commons Library for each of the years from 1946 to the latest stated date; and similar particulars for stationery purchased by hon. Members for use away from the House of Commons.

I regret that information is not available as to quantity and price of stationery used by particular Departments of this House, nor of the quantities purchased from time to time by hon. Members.
