§ Chris RuaneTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much her Department has spent in real terms on advertising campaigns to promote training and education policy in each of the last 15 years. [16098]
§ Mr. Ivan Lewis[holding answer 19 November 2001]: The Department's spend on advertising, for each of the last 15 years, is set out in the tables. Within the totals for the Employment Department and Department for Education and Employment there was advertising to promote employment and employability policies, as well as training and education policy. It is not possible to disaggregate this without disproportionate cost.
Prior to 1991–92 the Employment Department agencies (Manpower Services Commission, Training Commission and Training Agency) spent their own publicity budgets. From 1991–92 these were held centrally by the Employment Department. However, because of the way the information is held in our records the figures for the former Employment Department from 1992–93 to 1995–96 do not include expenditure by agencies. The Department for Education and Department for Education and Employment figures also do not include expenditure by agencies and NDPBs.
Real term expenditure is calculated using 1999–2000 base year prices.
