The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what information his Department holds on spending by government Departments on participation in Pride events in the UK.

Answered by Chris Ward

This Government celebrates pride month in June and proudly stands with the LGBTQ+ community year round, as we seek to build a fairer country where all can live freely, safely and with dignity.

The Cabinet Office does not hold information on spending on Pride by government departments on participation in 2026.

External expenditure information held by the Cabinet Office relating to the financial year 2024/2025 has been published under EDI Expenditure Guidance rules and is available on GOV.UK.
