BAE Systems

Nick Harvey: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much BAE received from his Department in each year since 1998. [218401]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth: MOD payments made to BAE Systems plc as a holding company, for the latest five years where complete data are available, are detailed in the following table. All MOD contract payments data refer to extant contracts in the financial year in question. All expenditure is VAT exclusive and expressed at current prices, rounded to the nearest £10 million.

(1) Please note figures for 2007-08 are provisional and subject to change. Final analysis will appear in “UK Defence Statistics 2008” due for publication on 24 September 2008.

The analysis is based on payments made by the MOD Financial Management Shared Service Centre and its predecessor which processes some 95 per cent. by value of all MOD payments to industry. It excludes, for example, payments made by the MOD Trading Funds and low-value local purchase transactions, for which records are not held centrally.

Data on a comparable basis relating to the years before 2003-04 are not available because we did not then collate spend with all divisions of the BAE Systems corporate structure and we could not retrospectively do so other than at disproportionate cost.

Departmental Marketing

Pete Wishart: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the cost was of (a) internet and website design and hosting, (b) print media design and (c) broadcast media of each of his Department's public information campaigns since 1997. [214724]

Derek Twigg: This information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Departmental Mass Media

Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much media (a) training and (b) consultancy for Ministers and officials in his Department cost in each year since 1997. [216258]

Derek Twigg: This information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Departmental Overtime

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many hours of overtime were worked by staff in each pay grade in his Department in each of the last 12 months. [221245]

Derek Twigg: The amount of overtime worked by civil service staff in the period August 2007 to July 2008 is as follows:
