§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Minister for the Civil Service how much money was spent during the financial year 1968–69, and how much is planned to be spent in 1969–70, on Press, television and billboard advertising for the purpose of increasing recruitment for the Civil Service.
§ Mrs. HartThe Civil Service Commission spent £412,994 in 1968–69 and expect to spent £475,000 in 1969–70 on press advertising for posts in the Civil Service. Nothing is spent on T.V. or billboard advertising. Many departments advertise separately in both the local and the national press for junior and temporary staff, but the amount 361W spent in this way cannot be ascertained without disproportionate expenditure of time and effort. The Post Office also has separate arrangements for recruitment advertising.
