To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much was spent by his Department on newspapers and magazines in the last 12 months. (153062)

The Northern Ireland Office, excluding its Agencies and Executive NDPBs, spent £68,510 on newspapers in 2006-07 (this is the last 12 months for which audited expenditure figures are available).

Information on magazine expenditure is not easily available as it is grouped with other general publication expenditure. It would not be possible to extract the magazine spend from these figures except at disproportionate cost.
