HC Deb 22 May 1992 vol 208 c275W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the total expenditure by his Department on press and public relations in 1979–80 and in each following year up to and including 1991–92; and if he will give an estimate for 1992–93.

Mr. David Hunt

Figures for expenditure by the Department's information division, including staff and press cutting service but excluding the cost of purchasing media advertising and promotional material, cannot readily be disaggregated for the years 1979–80 to 1987–88.

Figures for the succeeding years are:

£
1988–89 469,000
1989–90 487,000
1990–91 481,000
1991–92 481,000

Expenditure for 1992–93 is likely to be about £540,000.
