HC Deb 06 April 2000 vol 347 cc564-5W
Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which companies have placed advertisements on websites funded by his Department, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies; how much revenue has been generated for each

financial year since 1997 from such advertisements; and what use has been made of that revenue by his Department. [116597]

Mr. Hain

No companies have placed advertisements on websites funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies.

Two companies have sponsored the Planet Britain website (www.planet-britain.org). Eagle Star contributed £35,000 to the costs of the 1998 website and accompanying CD-ROM while Glaxo Wellcome contributed £6,000 to both the 1998 and 2000 versions of the Planet Britain website. The logos of the two companies appear on the website.
