asked the Lord Privy Seal what are the reasons and the costs involved in having printed on On Her Majesty's Service envelopes the name of the hon. Member for Mid-Oxon (Mr. Hurd) on the botton left hand corner; and whether, in view of the Government's policy of cutting unnecessary Government expenditure, he will cease this practice.

No, because it is a common office practice. The name is not printed but stamped with a rubber stamp—price approximately £5·50—and the annual cost is about that of answering this question.
