§ Patrick MercerTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much money was spent on(a) research, (b) staffing costs, (c) printing and publication, (d) distribution and (e) other costs for Sanctuary magazine No. 32, 2003; and how much was paid to DCCS Media. [163546]
§ Mr. CaplinAll research for Sanctuary magazine is carried out by MOD staff, for whom production of the publication is part of their normal duties. Consequently, there are no separate staffing or research costs. The printing and publication costs for the 2003 edition were some £27,000, with the distribution costing £1,500. All costs were met from the budget of the Defence Estates Agency, with no direct payment being made to DCCS media.
