§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales 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 up to and including 1991–92; and what is his latest estimate for 1992–93.
§ Mr. David HuntThe available information is as follows:
Welsh Office publicity spend £000 Year Radio TV 1Joint press and TV Press Other 1979–80 Nil — 61 — 24 1980–81 Nil — 62 — 22 1981–82 Nil — 100 — 44 1982–83 Nil — 99 — 28 1983–84 Nil — 108 — 34 1984–85 Nil — 66 — 100 1985–86 Nil Nil — 31 92 1986–87 Nil 27 — 49 331 1987–88 Nil 39 — 191 615 1988–89 Nil 64 — 112 1,105 1989–90 Nil 57 — 354 1,758 1990–91 Nil 17 — 251 1,161 1991–92 2Nil 4 — 221 1,732 1 Television and Press advertising for the years 1979–85 cannot be readily separated. 2 Provisional outturn. Publicity expenditure in 1992–93 is expected to be about £2 million. It is not possible to provide a breakdown of this under each heading because in many cases decisions about the extent to which different media will be used are taken as projects develop.
