Central Office of Information spending on public relations, marketing and advertising in 2007-8 cost £391 million a year, more than three times the rate that Labour inherited.

  • 2006–07 £338 million
  • 2007–08 £391 million

The first year of the Gordon Brown's term as Prime Minister coincided with a 16% rise in the cost of Government advertising, marketing and publicity. Government advertising attracted particular controversy in 2009, when the Home Office, according to a Select Committee on Communications report, "abused the marketing funds by funding newspapers [sic.] advertisements on police during the local elections “purdah” period, mirroring the Labour Party’s own campaigning."[1]

The report said there had also been an historic trend of COI advertising strangely rising just before an expected general election.[2]
