Treasury: Social Media

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 7 January 2026UIN 100833

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 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 Lucy Rigby

Due to the difficulty of disaggregating the number of staff who are employed to produce social media content from staff who are employed to work on broader digital communications, it is not possible to report exact figures in response to this question.
