Paid advertising on X was suspended in April 2023 following a SAFE Framework assessment. X is currently used only for organic (non-paid) content to communicate policies and public services.

The Department for Business and Trade has spent £84.00 with X since July 2024 on X Premium, the platform’s premium subscription service.
