The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much her Department has spent on podiums used for Ministerial press conferences since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

Government lecterns and podiums are regularly used at press conferences and speeches. This is managed on a case by case basis, depending on the location. Associated costs may be included within wider event production costs and therefore is not readily available to report on.
