SPEAKER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 45
Legislative Assembly - Paper and Envelopes
MR CORNWELL - asked the Speaker. on notice on 7 April 1992:
(1) When is it intended that all Assembly correspondence, including the standard A4 sheet of letterhead and envelope be provided from recycled paper.
(2) How many paper and envelope and paper sizes are available to Assembly Members, staff and administration.
MADAM SPEAKER - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:
(1) Although it is desirable to use recycled paper, advice has been received from the manufacturers of the photocopiers used within the Assembly building that the use of recycled paper through these machines is not recommended. Some machines only accept copying on one side of the recycled paper, while other machines would have to have the paper individually fed through so as to avoid a buildup of moisture within the photocopier and subsequent jamming. In the forward acquisition program for the Assembly budget a high priority will be placed on photocopiers that are compatible with recycled paper.
Accordingly, it is not intended to introduce recycled paper for the standard A4 copy paper or sheet of letterhead. However, should Members wish to have recycled paper that will not be used in photocopiers, stocks will be supplied. Consideration will be given to using other recycled stationery, not being A4 paper, as existing stocks are exhausted.
Envelopes are not currently provided on recycled paper, but it is intended to replace the current stocks once they are exhausted with recycled paper envelopes.
