Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will estimate the annual cost to his Department of (a) stationery and (b) postage incurred when sending a ministerial reply to hon. Members; and if he will make a statement.

The Ministry of Justice does not hold information at the level of detail requested. We have however taken steps to reduce our overall spending on stationery by securing better value for money from our suppliers and reducing paper usage.
