To ask the hon. Member for North Devon, representing the House of Commons Commission what percentage of paper used (a) for photocopying and (b) in printed publications by the House was from recycled sources in each of the last three years. (134041)

Sufficient data to provide the information in the form requested are not available. The House seeks to use the best environmental option for the paper it uses, compatible with the needs of each of its areas of business. I will write to the hon. Member about the specifications of paper provided to Members and used for photocopying and printed publications.
