§ Clare ShortIt is not possible for DFID to show the "Scottish" proportion of our advertising spend in UK national newspapers/magazines, to the level of detail requested, because these national newspapers/magazines do not publish separate editions for Scotland.
However, details of available DFID expenditure for advertising in newspapers/magazines which are specifically Scottish, for the calendar years 2000 to 2002 inclusive, are as follows:
Calendar year Advertising spend in Scottish Newspapers (£) 2000 16,816.95 2001 37,614.24 2002 18,430.02 DFID has not incurred expenditure on television, radio, billboard or sporting event advertising.
