The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to reduce spending on (a) civil service communications staff, (b) external marketing and (c) external advertising.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Government regularly evaluates the effectiveness of all communication activities to ensure they are delivering and providing the best value for money for taxpayers. An example of this is the recent comprehensive communications Spending Review that delivered savings of £85 million in 2024-25 and up to £96 million in 2025-26.
