To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many annual reports were produced by (a) Government departments, (b) executive agencies and (c) non-departmental public bodies, and at what total cost, in the last year for which figures are available. [80857]

Information on the number and cost of annual reports is not held centrally. However, as a general rule, each of the 19 principal government departments and 135 executive agencies produces its own annual report, as do the vast majority of over 300 executive NDPBs. Smaller departments and advisory NDPBs either produce their own annual report or include information on their annual activities in a joint report or in the report of a parent department. Copies of all annual reports are available to Members from the Libraries of the House.
