HC Deb 19 June 1991 vol 193 cc197-8W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what budget his Department has for advertising in ethnic newspapers or magazines the services and responsibilities of his Department; and what amount of money has been spent on this publicity in each of the last five years.

Mr. Eggar

The Department does not have a specific budget for advertising in the ethnic press and has not spent any funds on this activity in each of the last five years. However, it will shortly be advertising in the ethnic press two publications "How is your child doing at school?" and "Your child's report" which are available in eight ethnic languages. The Department has also published, in the last five years, other leaflets and guides in ethnic languages.
