HC Deb 05 April 1976 vol 909 c54W
Mr. Kenneth

Clarke asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the amount spent by her Department on television advertising in each of the last five years; and what amount is to be spent in the present year.

Mr. Meacher

The amount spent by my Department on television advertising in each of the last five years is as follows:

£000s
1971–72 289
1972–73 156
1973–74 148
1974–75 80
1975–76 73

It is still too early to give an estimate for expenditure on television advertising for 1976–77.
