asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much it cost his Department to produce the pamphlet, "Rural Enterprise and Development"; how many copies have been printed and what were their production costs; and if he will make a statement.

It is not possible to identify, separately from their other work, the time spent by officials in preparing the pamphlet "Rural Enterprise and Development". Eight thousand copies were printed at an estimated total production cost of £25,853. The pamphlet was produced for sale to the public through Her Majesty's Stationery Office at a cost of £3·95 per copy.
