Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much funding (a) her Department and (b) its predecessor Department has (i) budgeted for and (ii) spent on advertising in each of the last three financial years.
The department spent the following in each of the last three financial years:
| Financial year 2020/21 | Financial year 2021/22 | Financial year 2022/23 |
Actual spend | £259,634.17 | £666,395.66 | £253,813.31 |
We are unable to provide budget figures as the Department for Culture, Media and Sport does not budget in-year at such a granular level.
