The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much her Department has spent on (a) branding, (b) communications and (c) marketing in relation to her Fixing the Foundation (i) announcement, (ii) speech and (iii) documentation.

Answered by Darren Jones

The Department's in-house communications team is responsible for producing branding and communicating key messages as part of its core function. Any costs related to the Chancellor’s Fixing the Foundations announcement and speech were met within the Department's existing communications budget.

The cost of typesetting the Fixing the Foundations: public spending audit 2024-25 document and printing copies of this and supplementary publications to be made available to MPs and Members of the House of Lords on the day of the statement was met within the Department's existing printing budget.
