To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the amount of money spent by the Scottish Office separate from that used by regional and islands' councils, on publicising school boards since their creation.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

[holding answer 18 October 1990]: The total expenditure on public information about school boards since the first boards were established in October 1989 is £107,300. This relates to expenditure on publicity for school board by-elections held in late 1989 and early 1990.
