Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the answer of 10 July 2026 to Question 15038, how many social media influencers were paid for the £176,140 of expenditure, and if he will list each specific programme that they were paid to promote.

The £176,140 expenditure covered work with 21 content creators across the following campaigns: 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line, Community Sentencing, Victims’ Code, Prison and Probation Officer Recruitment, and Magistrates Recruitment.

The expenditure represents the total cost of delivering this activity, rather than payments made directly to influencers. This includes associated costs such as influencer management fees, content development and production, and campaign delivery.
