The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many full time equivalent staff in her Department have been employed for the purpose of making social media content in each of the past three years.

Answered by Ian Murray

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport delivers a wide range of communications campaigns through digital and traditional channels. It is not possible to provide the exact number of staff employed solely to create social media content. These responsibilities are integrated into the broader roles of staff within the digital and communications teams to ensure the best value for the taxpayer.
