Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much funding the Government has allocated for spending on advertising (a) in total and (b) by Department over the next Parliament.

The Cabinet Office operates spend control on behalf of HMT on an annual basis. During this process departments and ALBs submit an overview of any spend (including marketing and advertising) planned for the next financial year.

Historical data on advertising spend is listed by department on the Government efficiency, transparency and accountability page on GOV.uk.
