Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much his Department spent on focus groups in (a) 2019 and (b) 2020.
Any spend over £25,000 can be found by following the link below:
HM Treasury spend over £25,000 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
In 2019 we did not conduct any focus groups.
In 2020, we spent £240,538 on combined focus groups and polling services from Hanbury Strategy – this includes all of our spend on focus groups that year, but it is not possible to disaggregate the amount spent on focus groups specifically.
This is for invoices paid during the period January 2019 to December 2020.
