Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for the total spend on (i) LinkedIn membership fees (ii) other subscriptions by her Department in the last financial year.

The Home Office spent £98,800 on 13 LinkedIn Corporate Recruiter licences in 2024-25. There was further spend on other Recruitment services. The Home Office does not pay for LinkedIn membership services for individual members of staff.

By “other subscriptions” we are assuming that this is in relation to subscriptions to professional bodies. We do not hold readily available information on professional subscriptions as our financial systems do not have a specific marker for this type of expenditure. This level of detailed analysis could only be undertaken at disproportionate cost.
