Air Force: Advertising

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the total size is of the Royal Air Force advertising budget in the 2025-26 financial year.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Royal Navy, Royal Marines and the RAF advertising budget for FY 2025-26 has not yet received final Cabinet Office approval so is unable to be confirmed at this time. This differs from the British Army, who have a different recruitment contract with ‘Capita’, which has already gained Cabinet Office approval.
