Advertisements

Mr. Hanley
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment on how many occasions his Department sponsored advertisements in national newspapers in the last three years; which newspapers were chosen for these campaigns; which local newspapers were used in these campaigns; and which newspaper publishing groups received payment for advertising space.

Mr. Ridley
My Department, including the Property Services Agency, has advertised nationally in the following newspapers. Local newspapers are listed when they have formed part of the newspaper campaigns. (The lists do not include advertising on recruitment, tendering and statutory orders).
