Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Government has (a) paid for and (b) booked advertising space for the Get ready for Brexit campaign for dates beyond 31 October 2019.

The EU has now accepted the request for a Brexit extension. Up until this point, the UK was set to leave the EU on 31 October 2019. On that basis it was important that businesses and citizens prepared themselves for leaving the EU on 31 October. Some of those citizens and businesses may still have needed to take action after 31 October.

Cabinet Office publishes the costs of the public information campaign monthly on a rolling basis as part of routine government transparency. This will be broken down by supplier.
