Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much his Department spent from the public purse on National Democracy Week 2018.

The Cabinet Office has provided event and promotion materials to the partner-led National Democracy Week Council. For example, on 24 March this year we launched the National Democracy Week website, which provides details for the events being run across the country during this week. National Democracy Week branding, in addition to ideas for events activities, is also available from the website for our partners to utilise.

These contributions to the success of National Democracy Week have been resourced from existing budgets for democratic engagement. To date, Cabinet Office expenditure has been less than £60k and is not expected to change significantly.
