Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will publish a breakdown of how much has been spent on branded items to support Dapo Akande's candidacy for the International Court of Justice since 4 July 2024, and what these branded items were.

The successful campaign in support of Professor Akande's candidacy for election to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) means that a UK judge will once again sit on the ICJ bench following a nine-year absence. This outcome underlines the UK's commitment to the international rule of law.

The total spent on branded items since 4 July 2024 was £12,723.71. The table below provides a breakdown of the spend on branded products, what those branded products were, and when the spend occurred.
