Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total expenditure by the Office of Data Protection Registrar on press and public relations in 1979–80 and in each following year; and what is his estimate for 1990–91 and budget for 1991–92.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The Data Protection Registrar was first appointed in September 1984. I understand that his office incurred no significant promotional expenditure until the financial year 1985–86. Expenditure on press and public relations is shown in the table:

£
1985–86 32,492
1986–87 50,212
1987–88 64,624
1988–89 44,780
1989–90 48,822
1990–91 54,163

The estimated expenditure for 1991–92 is £65,000.
