Further to my letter last week regarding government waste (Waste paper, March 12) I have received copy of a letter, forwarded to me by Chris Grayling after I contacted him about this issue from Mr Bergman - Disability Living Allowance Portfolio Team. Department for Work and Pensions.

" ... I agree it appears on the face if it wasteful and inefficient that some of our notifications are printed on one side of the paper only. However, when you take into account of the availability of low cost re-cycled paper and the complication involved in making changes to complex apparatus that is well into its serviceable life, a rather different picture begins to emerge. What we can say as we move forwards, a proper regard will continue to be shown to the need for economy in the way we deliver the service to our customers."

Make of that what you may.
