Every day we receive the Order Papers in a large brown envelope addressed individually to each of the 226 Members of both Houses. It seems that the quantity of envelopes and paper used is very wasteful and I wonder whether we can address this issue. Last year, we were unable to get Oireachtas envelopes during the ferry dispute because it turned out that they are imported, which is understandable in the context of modern Europe. However, it is in our hands to deal with the waste paper we generate.
