HOUSE OF COMMONS WRITING PAPER

Early day motion 35, tabled 26 November 2003 by Caroline Spelman (Conservative). Signed by 60 members.

That this House expresses with regret that it is currently not possible to show that the House of Commons writing paper is made from recycled paper or sustainable forestry; urges the House authorities to use paper produced by organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council or other groups, who use recycled or recovered materials, such as totally chlorine-free de-inked post-consumer waste, recycled mall broke waste, and vegetable-based inks; and strongly believes that honourable Members should be able to support this sustainable effort and show their commitment to recycling by displaying the relevant logo.

Signatures by party: Conservative 54, Labour 3, DUP 1, Independent Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
