Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what his Department's advertising budget was in each financial year from 2010-11 to 2014-15.

The Department does not typically hold a budget specifically for advertising. Advertising costs are met from a variety of other budgets depending upon their nature and are not typically separately distinguishable. However in 2014-15 we have budgeted up to £10.2m for broadband advertising, promoting the superfast and the voucher campaigns.
