asked the Lord President of the Council what is the cost to public funds of producing the dossier "The Government Record"; how many Government Departments have contributed to it; how many civil servants in each have been engaged in this work; and how many copies of the dossier are being printed.

600 copies of the dossier "The Government Record" were printed, at a cost of £655. Twenty Government Departments contributed to it but it is not possible to apportion staff numbers or costs directly attributable to "The Government Record", since it is only one of a number of uses for which these facts and figures are collected.
