The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) publishes the core departmental advertising and publicity costs in the BIS Annual Report and Accounts. The costs recorded in each of the last four annual reports are as follows:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
2013/14: £8,774,000<\/p>
<\/p>
2012/13: £1,449,000<\/p>

2011/12: £2,402,000<\/p>
<\/p>
2010/11: £587,000<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The annual report for 2014/15 is due to be published later this year.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The spend in 2013/14 was principally due to the launch of the first wave of advertising for the Business is GREAT campaign, which has successfully highlighted Government support available to businesses, assisting many to find the help they need to grow.<\/p>

My Department is responsible for cross-Government communication as set out in the Annual Government Communication Plan. As part of our long-term economic plan we have substantially reformed Government communications since the 2010 General Election, abolishing the Central Office of Information and ensuring that Government communications activity is better coordinated and more effective. Thanks to these reforms we have halved the cost to taxpayers of government communications since the 2010 General Election. The NAO has confirmed that Government made savings of £378 million in each of the last two financial years on proactive paid-for communications, compared to a 2009-10 baseline. This is based on proactive (paid-for) communications spend of £589m in 09/10, £216m in 12/13 and £210m in 13/14.<\/p>
