§ Mr. Michael Marshallasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the cost to his Department of the current series of television advertisements on road safety which draw attention to driving on single track roads, stopping on pedestrian crossings and using dipped headlights at night.
§ Dr. GilbertThese are not advertisements for which the Department purchases air time. They are television fillers, produced or acquired at the expense of the Department but transmitted free by IBA and BBC Television as a public service. Production costs usually range between £l,000–£5,000 for each filler.
