HC Deb 19 April 1994 vol 241 c427W
Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what was the amount spent in each year since 1985, by tobacco manufacturing companies on sponsorship of each sport, under the terms of the voluntary agreement.

Mr. Brooke

Records are not kept of the amount of sponsorship money spent on each individual sport. The voluntary agreement on sponsorship requires tobacco manufacturers represented on the Tobacco Advisory Council to inform the Government of the expenditure incurred each year on sports sponsorship in the United Kingdom. These amounts are as follows:

Year £
1985–86 8,252,000
1986–87 7,699,000
1987–88 5,911,000
1988–89 5,329,000
1989–90 7,253,000
1990–91 7,630,000
1991–92 8,981,000
