HC Deb 25 April 1991 vol 189 c492W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give separate figures for the spending by his Department on(a) television advertising, (b) radio advertising, (c) newspaper advertising and (d) other promotional material in 1979–80 and in each following year; and what are his latest estimates for 1990–91 and budgets for 1991–92.

Mr. Heseltine

I refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent, Central (Mr. Fisher) on 12 December 1990,Official Report, c. 442. Information relating to financial years 1979–80 to 1984–85, inclusive, is not readily available and could not be obtained without disproportionate cost. The provisional outturn for 1990–91 is £7.9 million and the provisional budget for 1991–92 is £6–6 million; the latter figure excludes PSAs, the Building Research Establishment Agency and the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre where budgets have not yet been finalised.
