The details sought by the Deputy in relation to the value of advertising placed by the Department each year since 2002 are set out in the table.

The Department's advertising consists mainly of regulatory display advertising and statutory notices. The increase in advertising in 2004 and 2005 is due largely to increased expenditure on forestry advertising, responsibility for which came within the remit of my Department in 2004.
