§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how much his Department has spent on the Stop Fuming campaign; and if he will make a statement. [84405]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThe Stop Fuming campaign run by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders encourages car owners to undertake regular exhaust emission checks. Last year, the campaign linked with the messages being disseminated through my Department's "are you doing your bit?" campaign. My Department produced a leaflet at a cost of £366 to ensure that our messages were jointly reinforced. The SMMT distributed that through their members. We understand the SMMT are planning further campaign activity this autumn.
