Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 16 June 2025 to Question HL7884 on Government Departments: Advertising, whether government advertising is permitted on the Unherd website.

The Government uses a range of channels to reach and engage the public. Any use of these platforms is assessed against the high standards for digital safety set out in the Government Communication Service (GCS) SAFE framework. As there has not been an assessment made on the suitability of advertising on Unherd, departments are not permitted to advertise in this way.
