Full year costs are not available because SwetsWise ceased trading in 2014, there may have been local arrangements in place, and it is not now possible to identify all the subscriptions in place during the course of the year. Subscriptions have not been centralised since that time. Compiling figures and details of local purchase arrangements as they stand at present for newspapers, periodicals and journals would only be possible at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 27/08/2015 13:47:04 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning previous answer version 16617 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
