	Exam papers often have that, or a cross through the page. They are usually found towards the end of the booklet and is intended to indicate that there hasn't been a printing problem. If a question (and the space to answer) is indicated in the same way in the body of the booklet, should the candidate use it to write in, that part of their answer won't necessarily be marked

	that "..... left intentionally blank" must be something that is peculiarly British :-) I have honestly never seen that on any kind of form on this side of the Atlantic. someone may wish o prove me wrong ............ but I've never come across it. I have seen a box or page with a statement "for official use only"

	It may be so that a new section or chapter starts on the right hand page of a booklet so that it is more visible when leafing through.

	They print forms on large pieces of paper folded in half and stapled in the middle like a magazine. If the form has got 6 sides 2 of them will be blank. If they were completely blank people might think something had been missed off.

	I received several pages from the Insurance company the other day and just the one page says that it is blank intentionally. It makes sense to me. If they have seven pages of information and nothing else to say on the eighth page what else can they put.....?- Perhaps the staff got fed up of people ringing up to say that something was missing off the last page.
