Cabinet Office: Marketing
Asked by: Stephanie Peacock (Labour - Barnsley East) Thursday 18th April 2024 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of his Department’s (a) advertising and (b) marketing expenditure was on (i) local newspapers in print and online, (ii) national newspapers in print and online, (iii) social media, (iv) search engines, (v) broadcast and on-demand television and (vi) other channels in the most recent year for which data is available. Answered by Alex Burghart - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) The requested information is not centrally held, and complying with this request would incur a disproportionate cost to the department.

Department for Education: Marketing
Asked by: Stephanie Peacock (Labour - Barnsley East) Thursday 18th April 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of her Department’s (a) advertising and (b) marketing expenditure was on (i) local newspapers in print and online, (ii) national newspapers in print and online, (iii) social media, (iv) search engines, (v) broadcast and on-demand television and (vi) other channels in the most recent year for which data is available. Answered by Damian Hinds - Minister of State (Education) In 2022/23, the department continued to deliver communications activity in support of ministerial priorities and the wider government communications plan across its remit of skills, schools and families. This included campaigns to support the government’s ambitious skills reform programme, maximising take up of childcare entitlements, inspiring more people to teach in schools and a new campaign to attract professionals to share their skills by becoming teachers in further education. Most communications continue to be delivered in–house at no additional cost, as part of cross-government campaigns or at low cost by supporting and co–ordinating partners’ activity. Government marketing plays a crucial role in achieving operational and policy objectives, as well as driving behaviour change. Where paid-for communications are used, these are subject to the Cabinet Office’s advertising, marketing and communications spending controls. These controls ensure that, where taxpayer money is being spent on government communications, it is cost-effective, co-ordinated and reflects functional standards and professional best practices. Paid-for communications also comply with government and departmental procurement or governance policies and processes. The latest period for which final and consolidated total spend across all Department for Education campaigns is available for the 2022/23 financial year. Spend across the channels requested is outlined below:

Answered by Anthony Browne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Department’s policy for the use of social media platforms X and LinkedIn is available online, at: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport/about/social-media-use. The Civil Service Code provides wider guidance in relation to the conduct of civil servants and is available at: www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-code/the-civil-service-code. The Department for Transport and its agencies (DVLA, DVSA, MCGA, VCA and ATE) follow the guidance set out in these policies. Further guidance is provided to all staff in the Social Media Policy for DfT and Executive Agencies, available on the staff intranet.

S6W-26723
Asked by: Eagle, Tim (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Highlands and Islands) Tuesday 16th April 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government on what date it will launch its online digital Talent Attraction and Migration Service (TAMS), and how this will be promoted to employers across Scotland. Answered by Roddick, Emma - Minister for Equalities, Migration and Refugees The first iteration of Scotland’s Migration Service launched on 27 March 2024. The previous working title of ‘Talent Attraction and Migration Service’ was updated following testing with users. The service is hosted on Scotland.org and provides information and advice to people who have recently moved to Scotland, international students, employers and inward investors, who are able to book one-to-one advice appointments with our expert suppliers – Citizens Advice Scotland and the law firm Seraphus. The scope of the full service will widen in Autumn 2024 to service the needs of individuals located outside Scotland with an interest in moving to Scotland. Delivery of the first phase of the service is being promoted to employers across Scotland and all other users through a stakeholder advocacy approach. This involves targeted promotional activities through existing relationships and networks of stakeholders. Partnership communications toolkits have been shared with stakeholders containing materials to promote and encourage their own service users to use Scotland's Migration Service. The launch was also promoted via a news release from Scottish Government and social media post. Further promotional activities will be conducted in Autumn to accompany the launch of the full service. |
