Mr. Kilfoyle

[pursuant to his reply, 11 January 1999, c. 93]: I regret that a previous reply was incomplete in respect of amounts spent by the Cabinet Office since May 1997 on public opinion research. The amount showed £481,200 when it should have read £750,108 the expenditure on television, radio and newspaper advertising, £220,164; on direct mail, £794,319; and on publicity, £1,158,469 remain unchanged. All figures are net of recoverable VAT.
