Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how much expenditure was allocated by his Department in (a) 2019, (b) 2020 and (c) 2021 to (a) internal communications and (b) the employment of staff to work on internal communications.

We are unable to provide the pay costs for staff dedicated to internal communications as this could potentially identify specific staff member salaries owing to the small numbers involved. The Department routinely publishes the combined salary cost of its Communication function as part of its quarterly organogram which can be found here.
