HC Deb 10 December 1980 vol 995 c363W
79. Mr. Butcher

asked the Minister for the Civil service whether she has been able to reduce the advertising costs of the Central Office of Information.

Mr. Channon

Economies introduced by the Central Office of Information reduced their advertising costs by 10.3 per cent. in the financial year 1979–80, a saving of Dyer £2.3 million. A new system of paying advertising agencies started at the beginning of the present financial year. This should bring further savings.
