§ Mrs. Ann TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage, if he will list each non-departmental public body and agency for which he has responsibility and, for each, list separate figures for the spending by that body or agency on(a) television advertising, (b) radio advertising, (c) newspaper advertising, (d) other promotional materials and activities, (e) the totals in each year of (a) to (d) and (f) the proportion of (e) that was spent on recruitment advertising for year since 1979–80 or for each year of its existence if it has been created since then; and what are his latest estimates of (a) to (f) for the years 1994–95 and 1995–96. [17620]
§ Mr. DorrellMy Department is responsible for two agencies: Historic Royal Palaces and Royal Parks. Details of their expenditure on advertising and promotional materials is given in the following chart. Figures for 1995–96 have not been finalised.
The non-departmental public bodies which are sponsored by my Department are listed in Public Bodies 1994, a copy of which is available in the Library of the House. These operate at arm's length from my Department and the provision of information on their expenditure on advertising and promotional materials is an operational matter for them. The information could not be obtained by my Department without incurring disproportionate cost.
