I thank the right hon. Gentleman for that helpful reply, but two further developments would be welcome. First, will he try to ensure that the amount of paper produced in the House—much of which is wasted internally, let alone externally—is reduced? There is considerable scope, especially in view of the amount of paper left at the end of every day and bundled up in the Vote Office.

Secondly, we are to some extent using recycled paper for correspondence. It is only woodcuts—offcuts—not properly recycled paper. Can we go the whole hog and have fully recycled paper?
