§ Dr. MoonieThe information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
However, since 1999–2000, Ministry of Defence's public relations expenditure has been published in the annual Departmental Performance Report, broken down into categories of RN, Army, RAF and civilian recruitment, PR, marketing and business support services, Chief of PR, sales promotion, scholarships and National Employers' Liaison Committee. Copies of these documents have been placed in the Library of the House.
