Government Departments: Photographs

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many Departments hire official photographers as staff members.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Information on how many departments hire official photographers as staff members is not held centrally by the Cabinet Office.

The Cabinet Office Communications team employs two Digital Media Officers who support government work in Departments and undertake photography as a small part of their duties.

There are also 2 full time, dedicated photographers in the No10 team. Although they are funded by the Cabinet Office, their work is managed by No10.
