asked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the type and cost of printing equipment newly installed on the Interview Floor of the House; who is authorised to use this equipment; and when it will be available for use.

The equipment consists of photocopying machines. They are rented and the total cost is dependent upon the amount of work produced. As to the remaining parts of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to what the Lord President told the House on 3rd July [c. 1681–2.].
