The cumulative value of advertising placed by my Department in print media in each of the years sinces 2002 was as follows:

Year
2006 (to end June) 426,000
2005 504,000
2004 790,000
2003 416,000
2002 1,007,000

A breakdown of the type of advertising placed is not readily available in my Department.

Additionally my Department spent the following sums on media services which principally relate to expenditure on electronic press clipping services and news alerts:

Year
2006 (to end June) 19,000
2005 64,000

In the timeframe available my Department is unable to provide expenditure figures for media services prior to 2005.
