Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what changes have been made to (a) Cabinet Office, (b) Government Digital Service and (c) Government Communications Service guidance on the use of (i) HM Government and (ii) UK Government branding, including when the latter should be used rather than the former in publicity and communications since July 2024.

Since July 2024, guidance has been updated to reflect the new Royal Coat of Arms following the accession of His Majesty The King.

A strategic decision has been made to adopt "UK Government" as the primary identity for all public-facing communications.
