§ Dr. Howells
Responsibility for the sponsorship of design rests with the Department of Trade and Industry. The Creative Industries Mapping Document 2001, published by my Department in March 2001, estimated that the size of design related activity within the UK economy as a whole at £26.7 billion. No separate estimates were made for interior and garden design.
