A full departmental response could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Full external communications, advertising and marketing costs for the department are not held centrally. The majority of advertising and marketing expenditure is accounted for by advertising for the Royal Navy, Army, RAF and Ministry of Defence Police to aid recruitment.
All spending is subject to regular review to ensure it delivers value for money.
