My Department has cut spending on marketing and advertising to a fraction of the spending of the last Labour Government:<\/p>

<\/p>

2008-09: £12.7 million<\/p>

2009-10: £9.9 million<\/p>

2010-11: £898,000<\/p>

2011-12: £980,000<\/p>

2012-13: £2.4 million<\/p>

2013-14: £2 million<\/p>

2014-15: final 2014-15 spend will be in the region of 2013-14 spend.<\/p>

<\/p>


There are two main areas of spending: the award-winning Fire Kills campaign, and information for social tenants on their Right to Buy.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4043", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kris Hopkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Keighley"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kris Hopkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-19T16:32:17.213Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Advertising"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what his Department's advertising budget was in each financial year from 2010-11 to 2014-15.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1438", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Kevan Jones"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Durham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Kevan Jones"} ], "uin" : "222568"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176363", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176363/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

My Department has delivered significant reductions in communications spending compared to the last Labour Government.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Communications administration spend<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Administration spend includes media monitoring, printing costs for Parliamentary publications and training, but excludes staff costs. Spending was:<\/p>

2008-09: £2.6 million; 2009-10: £2.0 million; 2010-11: £637,000; 2011-12: £480,000; 2012-13: £347,000; 2013-14: £326,000.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Marketing and advertising spend<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

This includes all spending on marketing and advertising activities. Spending was:<\/p>

2008-09 £12.7 million; 2009-10: £9.9 million; 2010-11: £898,000; 2011-12: £980,000; 2012-13: £2.4 million; 2013-14: £2.0 million.<\/p>


We anticipate final 2014-15 spend will be in the region of 2013-14 spend.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The marketing and advertising figures can be found in my written answer to the hon. Member of 19 March 2015, Question 222568.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

To place this all in context, communications activity under the last Labour Government, including departmental spending such as:<\/p>

· £1.1 million a year on external public relations, despite having 103 in-house communications officers;<\/p>

· £15,000 on plugging the \u201cSustainable Communities summit\u201d that was subsequently cancelled;<\/p>

· £1 million on marketing and public relations for eco-towns, despite the fact not a single house was ever built;<\/p>

· £3,520 on re-naming Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Fire Services to the Chief Fire and Rescue Adviser, during one of New Labour\u2019s republican phases of purging public references to the Monarchy;<\/p>

· £38,200 on sock puppet lobbyists, LLM Communications, astro-turfing friends for the friendless Regional Spatial Strategies;<\/p>

· £1,371 on re-branding of John Prescott\u2019s \u2018Office of the Deputy Prime Minister\u2019 to the pointless \u2018Deputy Prime Minister\u2019s Office\u2019;<\/p>

· £3,830 on the subsequent logo for the new Department for Communities and Local Government, followed by burning a further £24,765 on dropping the \u201cD\u201d and renaming it \u201cCommunities and Local Government\u201d, despite being neither, in a futile attempt to sound achingly trendy.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We have run a tighter ship. Right to Buy and the Fire Kills campaign are now the two primary campaigns we run, and both have a clear public benefit, in strong contrast to the culture of spin and excess in the spendthrift Labour years.<\/p>

We launched the £200 million Forces Help to Buy Scheme in April 2014 to encourage and support those Service families that aspire to home ownership. I am pleased to report that the scheme has proved very popular. As at 28 October 2014, it had received close to 5,000 applications. It has already helped over 1,500 Service personnel get on, or stay on, the property ladder.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-30T17:35:20.4048735Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Forces Help to Buy Scheme"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many applications there have been to the Armed Forces' Help to Buy scheme since it was launched in April 2014; and how many applicants to that scheme have successfully secured mortgages through the scheme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1438", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Kevan Jones"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Durham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Kevan Jones"} ], "uin" : "211791"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/77093", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/77093/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Under previous arrangements, Official Service Residences (OSRs, colloquially known as \u2018grace and favour\u2019 residencies) were provided for senior officers in certain posts which required them to undertake official hospitality for Defence purposes. As announced by the then Minister for Personnel, Welfare and Veterans (Andrew Robathan) on 12 December 2011 (Official Report, column 63WS), these arrangements have been discontinued. Properties which were formerly categorised as OSRs are being phased out on a rolling basis as personnel retire or move on to other posts. However, senior officers remain entitled to Service Family Accommodation (Type 1 or Type 2). In addition, the Department is undertaking an ongoing review into domestic assistance policy to ensure that the level of support provided to senior entitled officers is appropriate and driven by a clear business need.
