Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much money has been spent on publicising family income supplement in the last 12 months; what the estimated sum to be spent on publicising family income sup- plement is in the following 12 months; whether there are any plans to launch a new publicity campaign; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

At the time of the November 1979 uprating, a total of £294,000 was spent advertising family income supplement on television and in the national press. The budget for a similar campaign at the time of this year's up-rating is £334,000. These figures exclude leaflet costs.
