Written Question
Sovereignty: Scotland
Wednesday 9th September 2020

Asked by: David Linden (Scottish National Party - Glasgow East)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish all opinion polling commissioned by his Department on Scottish independence conducted in 2020.

Answered by Julia Lopez - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

As has been the case with successive administrations, Government routinely works with suppliers to provide polling and market research work so as to understand public attitudes and behaviours to inform our vitally important campaigns and policies. This enables us to deliver strong, national, cross-government communications campaigns, including to support the UK’s response and recovery from the pandemic. Internal policy development work is not normally disclosed.

Details of departmental expenditure and contracts are published on GOV.UK.
