§ Mr. BurtI refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Gordon (Mr. Bruce) on 25 April,Official Report, column 249.
Unfortunately, there was a typographical error in the answer I gave relating to the total amount of expenditure on publicity for the year 1994–95.
The information is not available in the format requested as it is not possible to separate promotional activities from publicity undertaken. Such information as is available is in the lists.
