Answered by Ian Murray
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has spent £1087.45 on 3107 lanyards for Remembrance Sunday since July 2024. These were plain and did not carry any design. The lanyards were used as part of the delivery of the annual national Remembrance Sunday commemorations, helping to identify volunteers, authorised personnel and manage access within the secure event footprint. The Department also spent £2,970 on 1500 lanyards for VE Day 80 in 2025 to support the safe and secure delivery of the commemorations. These carried the government’s VE 80 branding. The Department’s communications team spent £687.10 on 900 lanyards since July 2024. These were plain and did not carry any design. Information relating to the Department's agencies and public bodies is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
