Question

To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, for what reasons changes have been made to the contract to limit printing to only green stationery.

The stationery rules, and rules on the use of the Crowned Portcullis, govern the use Members make of stationery bearing the Crowned Portcullis. They are published on Parlinet and were last updated in November 2023. The default colour for the Crowned Portcullis is green, and that is the only colour permitted on House supplied stationery. It may be used in a party colour on small communications and on those webpages where its use is permitted.
