Recruitment (Advertising Expenditure)

HC Deb 29 January 1968 vol 757 cc229-30W

Mr. Thorpe

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will state the amount spent on advertising for recruits for the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force last year and the amount intended to be spent this year.

Mr. Reynolds

We expect to spend about £3 million in 1967–68 made up as follows:

			£
Royal Navy	…	…	800,000
Army	…	…	1,400,000
Royal Air Force	…	…	800,000

I am looking at the Estimates on advertising expenditure for 1968–69 in the light of recent announcements.
