Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 30 June (HL1012), what was the total amount of payments made to Breakthrough Media by the Home Office’s research, information and communications unit since 2016.

The Home Office has previously contracted with a range of suppliers to support communications and research activity, in line with government commercial processes.

Information on individual contracts is published in line with transparency requirements, including on Contracts Finder and through departmental transparency releases.

The Home Office no longer holds a contract with Breakthrough Media.

We do not provide a consolidated, unit-level breakdown of payments to individual suppliers.
