Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much his Department has spent on advertising the dangers of
(a) smoking, (b) poor diet and (c) alcohol in each year since 1997. [219678]
Miss Melanie Johnson: The Health Education Authority ran the public education campaign on the dangers of smoking prior to 1999-2000.
The tobacco control campaign run by the Department was launched in December 1999.
The following table shows advertising expenditure on the dangers of smoking from 1999-2000 to date.

1 Estimated figure.
In my response to a question from the hon. Member on 3 November 2004, Official Report, column 324-25W, advertising
expenditure on the dangers of smoking from 1999-2000 to date, the amount for 2003-04 was incorrectly listed as
£19.36 million. The correct figure for 2003-04 is £17.76 million.
The Department does not advertise the dangers of poor diet. However, the Department promotes the positive benefits of a healthy diet
through a range of on- going activities such as the five-a-day programme, including the school fruit and vegetable scheme, promotion
of food in schools as well as promoting breastfeeding among the disadvantaged groups.
The following table shows expenditure on promoting healthy diet from 1998 to 2005.

There has been no advertising campaign by the Department specifically on the dangers of excessive drinking in the last seven years.
The Department has funded, through its central communications budget, the production of a number of booklets or leaflets advising
the public on sensible drinking. Expenditure for these is shown in the following table.

Additionally, the Department funds the Drinkline helpline and a dedicated website. It is not possible to provide a separate cost for
the operation of the helpline, Drinkline, as this is provided as part of a contract covering FRANK (drugs), Sexual Health Line,
Drinkline and Know The Score, the Scottish helpline on drugs. These services have been provided under one contract and one
operational model, for purposes of cost efficiency. The approximate cost of operating the four services in 2004-05 is
£1.8 million including VAT, or £1.5 million excluding VAT.

Malcolm Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what information published by his Department (a) may be
obtained by the public in post offices and (b) could previously be obtained by the public in post offices but may not now be
so obtained; and how much was spent making each of these categories of information available in the most recent period for which
figures are available. [209720]
Maria Eagle: The following leaflets are currently available for post offices to stock. Your Guide to Winter Fuel Payments (WFPL1)
Direct Payment (DPL1DEC04) Pension Credit (PCL1OCT04) Pensioners Guide (PG1OCT04) Jobcentre Plus Services (JPS1OCT04) Child Support
Agency--What it may mean for you (CSL103) Cut Your Council Tax (GL17FA5)
Notes: 1. The winter fuel payments leaflet is usually only displayed between October and March to coincide with the information
campaign. 2. Bilingual or stand alone Welsh versions are available from post offices in Wales. 3. Until June 2004, the new deal for
lone parents leaflet was also available from post offices. This information product is now targeted at a more local level, for
example through the local office relationship with libraries etc.
Prior to 2 June 2004, the Department had a contract in place with Post Office Ltd. for the display of key Departmental
leaflets and posters in post office display panels. This was known as the POPOS (post office point of sale) display. Post Office
Ltd. terminated this contract with effect from 2 June 2004.
The last direct cost for displaying leaflets in post offices was £332,000, which covered the final quarter of the POPOS contract
(April 2004-June 2004).
The leaflets currently available from post offices are issued as part of the wider Order Book Encashment Contract. It is not
possible to separately identify the costs for this service from the fixed costs within the contract.

Mr. Evans: To ask the hon. Member for Gosport, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission what action the
Electoral Commission is taking to ensure that all members of the armed services are able to vote in the forthcoming general
election. [221096]
Mr. Viggers: The Electoral Commission informs me that it has undertaken a considerable amount of work in partnership with the
Ministry of Defence to make those in the armed forces aware of the need to register to vote and how to do so, that the deadline for
registration can be up to two months before an election, and in particular that the deadline for registration in time to vote in any
election taking place on 5 May is 11 March. This work includes a publicity leaflet, of which over 110,000 copies have
so far been ordered by the Ministry and other organisations. In addition, the Commission is providing information on its websites,
and has been working with the British Forces Broadcasting Service and several services publications to generate coverage about this
issue.

Mr. George Osborne: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many separate items of literature have been sent to parents of
children entitled to child trust funds; how many parents have received these to date; how many more are expected to receive them by
5 May; and what the planned cost is of the production and postage of all items of literature about child trust funds to
5 May. [219797]
Mr. Timms: Three items of literature have been issued to parents of children eligible for the Child Trust Fund. A letter was sent in
November 2004 to let parents know they would be contacted shortly about the Child Trust Fund and that there would be no need to make
a claim. Detailed information packs and vouchers to open a Child Trust Fund account started to be sent out in January 2005.
The Inland Revenue will have sent these items to around 1.6 million parents of eligible children by the beginning of May
2005.
The planned cost of production and postage of these items is approximately £2,200,000.

Authority regarding the security of private pensions. [218997]
Malcolm Wicks: We recognise the need to keep leaflets and other material up to date, but the Department does not offer financial
advice and cannot assume responsibility for doing so. The Department and the Occupational Pensions Regulatory Authority regularly
review the information in their general booklets and leaflets and provide whatever helpful general information they can.
The Financial Services Authority does not have responsibility for the rights of members of occupational pensions schemes but does
provide basic information for consumers on these schemes through its consumer publications. This information is general and does not
constitute financial advice. The FSA regularly reviews and updates its consumer publications.

Mr. Jamieson: Driving Standards Agency receives around £22,000 per year in contributions donated by members of the Association of
British Insurers.
This budget, along with the money generated from selling Pass Plus packs and re-fill packs, is used for printing leaflets which are
distributed to road safety officers, driving test centres and universities and are available at major events. The Agency does not
directly target provisional and newly qualified drivers.
The budget for printing takes into account the cost of having the packs and certificates printed as well as any promotional
leaflets. The Agency is unable to extrapolate figures solely for advertising.

Mr. Viggers: Section 13 of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, under which the Electoral Commission acts to
raise voter awareness, came into force on 19 January 2001. The Electoral Commission informs me that it has spent £11,000 in
the current financial year on measures specifically aimed at raising awareness of registration among service voters, most of it on
the production and distribution to Ministry of Defence units of a leaflet providing electoral information for members of the armed
forces. The Ministry of Defence is responsible for all aspects of distribution within units. In 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04 the
Commission incurred only staff costs, which cannot be separately identified, in respect of media relations activity specifically to
highlight registration amongst service voters.
Commission programmes aimed at raising voter awareness generally are also likely to have made some contribution to raising voter
awareness among service voters.

11 January by Sir William Stewart, has reviewed progress since the Stewart recommendations nearly five years ago. The new
report notes that "the main conclusions reached in the Stewart Report in 2000 still apply today and that a precautionary approach to

The Government are currently considering the details in the report, which include recommendations about communicating information on
