HC Deb 04 August 1966 vol 733 cc179-80W
Mr. John Wells

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total spent by the Cabinet Office on advertising in the past year; and by what sum he intends to reduce it in the current year as a result of the present economic situation.

Mr. MacDermot

The Cabinet Office spent £298 in 1965–66, wholly on advertising for staff. It is not practicable to decide now whether, and if so by how much, to reduce expenditure of this kind.
