§ Mr. SimpsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much has been spent on outside advertising agencies for each year since 1979; and if he will list the specific advertising campaigns undertaken by his Department, their purpose and their cost. [32484]
§ Mr. GoodladFigures for total expenditure on promotional material and recruitment advertising in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office—diplomatic wing and ODA—are as given in my written answer to the hon. Member for Gordon (Mr. Bruce) on 13 February 1995. The FCO produces most of its advertising and publicity material in-house. Details of expenditure incurred on advertising agencies could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
