Vol. 420 No. 5
76 Mr. Cotter asked the Minister for the Marine the quantity of recycled paper used by his Department in 1991; if he will outline the percentage of all paper represented by this amount; if he will further outline the source of such paper; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
In 1991, my Department used in the region of 100,000 envelopes made from recycled paper.
As details of the quantities of other recycled paper used in my Department are not readily available it is not possible to express this in percentage terms. I am committed to increasing the proportion of recycled paper used in my Department and to this end I have recently decided to use recycled paper for photocopying purposes.
Most of the paper used in my Department is sourced through the Government Supplies Agency.
