Low Carbon Industrial Strategy

Question: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills for what reasons copies of the Low Carbon Industrial Strategy were not placed in the Vote Office after publication on 15 July 2009.

Answer: Around 30 copies of the Department's report "The UK Low Carbon Industrial Strategy" were placed in the Vote Office on the morning of its publication. Unfortunately, demand for the report exceeded the number of copies available and there was a delay in obtaining additional copies for the Vote Office. I am sorry that some hon. Members were inconvenienced by being unable to get a copy from the Vote Office. The report was placed in the Libraries of the House on the morning of its publication, however, and it was also available on the Department's internet site, as indicated in the written ministerial statement.
