Vol. 567 No. 6
208 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Transport his views on whether his Department's share of the more than ?10 million spent by Government Departments in 2002 on public relations, marketing and advertising represents best value for money; and the plans which exist to reduce spending in this area. [14671/03]
My Department's expenditure on public relations, marketing and advertising in 2002 contributed positively to communicating key messages. I am satisfied that such expenditure represents value for money in specific areas of Government policy for which my Department is responsible. Plans for future expenditure in these, as in all other, areas are regularly reviewed.
