§ Mr. John GrantThe cost of advertising placed in weekly periodicals on behalf of my Department for the 12 months ended 31st December 1975 was £18,472. This sum represented 11 per cent. of the total advertising expenditure. No advertising was placed inLabour Weekly. No advertising was placed in any weekly periodical during the six-month period ending 30th June 1976. The selection of advertising media for publicity campaigns is governed by budget limitations which necessitate the use of publications which achieve the most cost-effective access to those to which the information is directed.
