Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to page 34 of to her Department's publication entitled Cabinet Office annual report and accounts 2025-26, HC 602, published on 14 September 2026, whether there is a cost to the public purse of the collection of data on government approval that is now a key performance indicator; whether the rolling data will be published on a government dashboard; and what information her Department holds on the latest figure for government approval.

The YouGov tracker is a resource in the public domain and available at no cost to GCS. It provides a consistent and independent long-term trend of public approval ratings. It is not a core KPI included in internal dashboards.
