Mr. Lansley: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the television, newspaper and radio advertising and other promotional campaigns conducted by (a) his Department, (b) its agencies and (c) its departmental public bodies, in each of the past five years, showing for each the expenditure incurred by his Department; and if he will make a statement. [153414] Ms Quin: [holding answer 12 March 2001]: Our records show the following expenditure; figures for advertising do not include poster (except for Foot and Mouth 2001), wallet or ticket advertising. The cost for direct mailing includes the dispatch of forms and explanatory material to farmers for MAFF administered schemes. Agency and non-departmental government bodies are not included as these costs are not held centrally and recovery of the data would be at a disproportionate cost. £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Wythenshawe and Sale, East (Mr. Goggins) of 1 May 2001, Official Report, column 594W, what analysis his Department has carried out on the changes in the growth of social security expenditure to isolate the changes in benefit expenditure on (i) unemployed claimants, (ii) single parents, (iii) changes in entitlement arising from legislation passed prior to May 1997, (iv) changes in entitlement arising from legislation passed since May 1997 and (v) other causes; and if he will place a copy in the Library. [160839] Mr. Rooker: No analysis has been made in the format outlined in the question, as it would not be possible to identify separately the continuing effects of all legislation since 1991-92. The analysis that has been carried out is presented in the table. 2001-01 prices{ 1} £ billion _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Change figures may not appear to sum due to rounding. {2} Expenditure on unemployed people by reason of their unemployment, through Unemployment Benefit (1996-97 only), Income Support (1996-97 only), Jobseeker's Allowance, Housing and Council Tax Benefits. {3} Expenditure on lone parents by reason of their lone parent status, through Income Support, Housing and Council Tax Benefits. {4} Figures relate to new measures affecting Social Security benefits for pensioners and families. They do not include Working Families' Tax Credit or Disabled Person's Tax Credit. Analysis of changes in expenditure on unemployed people and lone parents has been made from administrative data. Analysis of the change in expenditure arising from legislation since May 1997 affecting social security benefits for pensioners and families has been made using administrative data and statistical models. The figures provided by the different analyses are not mutually exclusive, in that some of the changes in expenditure arising from legislative change will have applied to unemployed people and lone parents, notably the increases in child amounts in income-related benefits. Therefore, the change figures cannot be added together. The figures do not account for all the changes since 1991-92, nor do they cover all groups of recipients.

Mr. Norman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how much has been spent by his Department on landscaping, horticulture and tree planting on motorway verges in each of the last four years. [159201] Mr. Prescott: I have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Tim Matthews, to write to the hon. Member. Letter from Richard Thorndike to Mr. Archie Norman, dated 11 May 2001: The Secretary of State for the Environment Transport and the Regions has asked the Chief Executive, Tim Matthews to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about spending on landscaping, horticulture and tree planting on motorway verges. I am replying in the absence of Tim Matthews. Responsibility for landscaping, horticulture and tree planting on the motorway and trunk road network in England rests with the Highways Agency. Because of the way our records are kept, we cannot readily separate spending on the motorway network from spending on the trunk road network. The table below therefore shows total spend recorded on all landscaping, horticulture and tree planting across the network. This includes significant expenditure associated with the environmental treatment of major new schemes, expenditure on the maintenance of existing landscaping and on schemes aimed at supporting the UK's biodiversity strategy, which aims to protect and encourage the diversity of plants and animals. This is in line with the Government policy to reduce the environmental impact of roads, which was one of the major aims of the 1998 Roads Review "A New Deal for Trunk Roads in England". The A34 Newbury Bypass was completed in 1998/99, with its substantial environmental treatment contributing to the overall spend in that year. £ million _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
