Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how much funding her Department has (a) budgeted for and (b) spent on advertising in each of the last three financial years.
The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) uses advertising to promote vacancies in the Department.
The table below sets out what, in the last three years, the AGO budgeted for all communication and marketing and what it spent on advertising.
| 2021/22 | 2022/23 | 2023/24 |
Budget for communication and marketing | £26,500.00 | £35,000.00 | £40,000.00 |
Spend on advertising | £714.00 | £714.00 | £714.00 |
Please note that I am responding on behalf of the AGO only, and not the departments superintended by the Attorney General and I (the Crown Prosecution Service, HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate, Government Legal Department, and Serious Fraud Office).
