Whether it will provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in publishing Checking for Change, including launch, printing and costs …

The Checking for Change consultation paper has primarily been disseminated electronically. The launch of Checking for Change was carried out by news release and by e-mail to a number of relevant organisations. There were no separately identifiable costs associated with this.Those paper copies which will be issued will be photocopies. About 200 copies are expected to be sent to those interested parties who, as far as we know, do not have e-mail accounts. Each copy uses only three sheets of paper as the document is printed double-sided. Therefore, approximately 600 sheets of paper will be used.The cost of publishing both the Checking for Change paper and the Entec Report on Sustainability Indicators for Waste, Energy and Travel for Scotland on the Sustainable Scotland website was £40.
