§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to his answer of 25 November, Official Report, columns 240–2, if he will give a breakdown between all Government Departments and agencies of the figures given in that answer; and whether all expenditure on behalf of Government Departments and agencies on advertising was made through the Central Office of Information.
§ Mr. MacGregor[pursuant to his reply, 10 December 1986, c. 188]: A breakdown of the answer provided on 25 November, Official Report, columns 240–2 is not readily available in the form requested and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. All departmental advertising expenditure, with the exception of that on staff recruitment and national savings goes through the Central Office of Information. Some agencies do not place their advertising through the Central Office of Information.
