The question

To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, if the Commission will ban the China Daily publication from delivery to the offices of hon. Members.

Answered by Nick Smith

China Daily has been delivered to our mail screening centre in bulk, addressed to all Members since 2016. There is an unsubscribing email address that is passed to Members who no longer wish to receive it.

The bulk delivery has never been requested by the Administration. However, the Speaker has now asked the Administration Committee to review the process of bulk mail deliveries including the related costs.
