Mr. Alan Duncan

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs how much was spent by his Department on(a) advertising and (b) public relations consultants in (i) 1996–97 and (ii) the last year for which figures are available. [185824]

Mr. Lammy

In 2003—04 the Department for Constitutional Affairs did not spend anything on advertising and public relations consultants. Figures for 1996–97 are not available since my Department only came into existence on 12 June 2003.
