HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c50W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what annual saving in expenditure will be gained from his decision to discontinue funding the Good Neighbour scheme.

Sir George Young

The discontinuation of the Good Neighbour campaign will result in savings on administrative costs of the order of £20,000 per annum.

The annual costs of publicity material depend on the level of demand, and no estimate can therefore be made on future savings, but in the two calendar years 1978 and 1979 the total cost of publicity material was approximately £108,000.
