Question

To ask The Senior Deputy Speaker what plans the House of Lords has to reduce the use of the social media platform X for public communications about the work of the House of Lords.

The Lords communications team uses a range of social media channels to reach audiences and ensure they have access to accurate and impartial information about the role and work of the House. By using multiple channels, it aims to reach a broad range of audiences online with content that is most likely to engage them.

Posts on X cover the daily business of the House and work in committees. The team continually evaluates the effectiveness and risks of using each platform and adjusts its approach accordingly. It does not prioritise any single channel over others.
