HC Deb 05 March 1958 vol 583 cc131-2W
8. Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the total sum spent by his Department on recruiting campaigns for the Regular Army in the last ten years.

Mr. Amery

The expenditure from Army Votes on recruiting publicity for the ten-year period up to the end of March is estimated at £355,000. The hon. Member will realise that most recruiting advertisements are published by the Central Office of Information, whose expenditure on behalf of the Army in the last ten years was just under £2 million.
