Communication
(asked on 28th January 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what his Department's communications budget was in each financial year from 2010-11 to 2014-15.
The department’s budget for the MoJ Communication team (staff & non-staff) is shown in the table below:
Financial Year | Area | Total Comms Budget |
2010- 2011 | MoJ Communication | £7.5m |
2011- 2012 | MoJ Communication | £4.9m |
2012- 2013 | MoJ Communication | £4.6m |
2013- 2014 | MoJ Communication | £4.5m |
2014 -2015 | MoJ Communication | £4.7m |
The increase in 2014-15 is a result of a transfer of staff and budget to MoJ from other government departments for design services (totalling £0.4m).
On a like for like basis, excluding this transfer, the MoJ Communication team budget for 2014-15 is £4.3m, continuing the annual trend of decreases in budget seen since 2010-11, and representing a reduction of over 40% compared to 2010-11.
