The anti-poverty week organised in September by the Social Policy Ministry cost taxpayers €30,173.47, with half of the expenses going to television and radio advertising.

The information was revealed in Parliament in reply to a series of questions submitted by Nationalist MP Claudette Buttigieg.

Ms Buttigieg, the PN spokeswoman for social dialogue and civil liberties, enquired about the money spent on media campaigns by all ministries and parliamentary secretariats during the first year of this administration.
