The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much their department spent on X and xAI since July 2024.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Paid advertising on X was suspended in April 2023 following a SAFE Framework assessment. X is currently used only for organic (non-paid) content to communicate policies and public services.


The Department for Transport has spent £783.30 with X since July 2024.


This includes X Premium and X Premium +, for monitoring of news coverage and discourse, analytics and digital output.
