The following is a list of the events commissioned centrally by Defra and which were part of the Department's publicity programme. The events, incurred by Defra's centralised publicity budget were commissioned at a cost of £1.2 million.

The information for each agency and non-departmental body for which Defra is responsible could only be collated at a disproportionate cost.
