Answered by Ian Murray
The Department for Science Innovation and Technology has only spent money on social media influencers for reasonable expenses such as travel.
We have worked with social media influencers to drive public awareness on the following topics; how the government is putting AI to work in healthcare; work to tackle digital exclusion; the National Underground Asset Register; and products launched by the Government Digital Service to improve access to public services for citizens.
