Cabinet Office: Facebook

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason the Facebook advertisement entitled The Brexit Deal explained does not appear in Facebook Ad Library as a political advertisement.

Answer

The format of the advert was a video and it started before Facebook's new transparency rules came into effect on the 29 November. The advert finished on the 30 November, while Facebook was still rolling out the ads library to advertisers across the UK, therefore it wasn't placed in the library.
