asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state (a) for himself and (b) for his Parliamentary Secretary the cost of officially provided Christmas greeting cards sent in 1968; if the postage was provided free by his Department and, if so, the cost in each case; if he can give an estimate of cards on order for this year under each heading; and if the cards will be sent post free.

(a) Nil.
(b) Cost of cards officially provided was £85. Postage was arranged by my Department but the cost involved cannot be calculated as the postal charge is a fixed annual sum and the items are not paid for individually. Cost of cards on order for this year is approximately the same and the same arrangements for postage will apply.
