§ Mrs. BeckettTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the budget for staff and running costs, excluding expenditure on publicity, in the information division in his Department in each of the last 10 years. [33694]
§ Mr. SackvilleThe available information, which excludes expenditure on publicity campaigns, is shown in the table. The information division now includes a public inquiry office and a central print unit which provides the Department with services for print and paper procurement and storage and distribution. The figures are therefore not comparable over the years.
