Written Answers - Ministerial Christmas Cards.
63.
I have ordered 2,400 Christmas cards at a total cost of £787.50 including VAT. The suppliers are Chadworths Ltd., Dublin.
Many of the cards are sent abroad by means of the diplomatic bag and are delivered with embassy mail. No postage charges are incurred for sending these. The estimated cost of postage of the remainder is £250. As regards the Minister of State, no information is yet available as this matter is still under consideration.
