Volume 463: debated on Monday 3 September 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much was spent by his Department on newspapers and magazines in the last 12 months. (153115)

During the period July 2006 to July 2007 DFID recorded spend of £64,367 on newspapers and magazines. This includes the costs of subscriptions centrally funded in our Headquarters offices. Within DFID, individual departments and overseas offices may on occasion subscribe to relevant publications. To identify all non-centrally funded costs within our current systems would incur disproportionate cost.
