The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 25 June 2026 to Question 10561, which marketing campaigns her Department has hired external public relations consultants for.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Since 4 July 2024, the Department for Transport has spent money on public relations activity to support its THINK! drink and drug driving campaigns. This forms part of the Department’s wider, targeted communications approach to road safety and is in line with its previous use of PR activity to complement paid media and reach priority audiences effectively.
