Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: X Corp
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much their Department has spent on X and xAI since July 2024.
Answered by Chris Elmore
The central communication team at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has spent £722.77 on X Premium since July 2024, to enable the posting of longer-form messages, which can be essential when communicating in crisis situations. There has been no paid advertising on X by the FCDO since April 2023. We do not hold a central record of spending by overseas posts on X services, and this information could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
