777 Deputy Damien English asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will detail in tabular form, the number of reams of A4 sized paper and A3 sized paper purchased in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010 by his Department and each agency under its aegis; and the proportion of which is 100% recycled paper. [14926/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe details sought are not readily available for 2006 and 2007. The number of reams of A4 and A3 paper purchased in 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010 under the National Procurement Service contract, through which the bulk of my Department's paper purchases are currently made, are set out as follows. Alteration to the 100% recycled paper previously supplied has created compatibility issues with certain office equipment, and we are currently working with the supplier in trialing an alternative version.
My Department does not compile or hold data in relation to paper purchased by agencies under its aegis.
