Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how much his Department is spending on a public information campaign to prepare people for the potential effects of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

The Office is working closely with communications teams across Government on public information campaigns relating to EU Exit.

The Office has used its social media channels to amplify messages around relevant content including the publication of Technical Notices and advice on preparedness for individuals and businesses via the UK Government’s www.euexit.campaign.gov.uk website.

The Office has not incurred direct costs for the promotion of a public information campaign on this issue to date as this is funded by other departments.
