Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much (a) her Department and (b) each of its Arm’s Length Bodies has spent on external public relations since 5 July 2024; and which firms that funding went to.
This question was answered on 6th February 2025
Public relations activity is a subset of communication spend. As such, this data is not held.
The Government Communication Service encourages the prioritisation of low and no cost public relations activities wherever possible.
It is recommended that all external communications support should be procured through approved government frameworks, with strict controls in place to ensure cost-effectiveness.
