Government Departments: Social Media
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department provides guidance to departmental social media accounts on liking party political posts by (a) Ministers and (b) hon. Members.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Government Communication Service has published guidance on propriety in digital and social media. It states that official social media accounts managed by departments must not be used for the further dissemination of messages from party political or otherwise partisan accounts.
The guidance can be found at https://gcs.civilservice.gov.uk/guidance/professional-standards/propriety/propriety-in-digital-and-social-media/.
