Attorney General's Office: X Corp

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government on what evidential basis staff in the Attorney-General's Office have been instructed to stop using X; and when this decision was taken.

Answer

The Attorney General Office’s official account is no longer posting on X. The decision was taken to focus on other communication platforms that I believe are more conducive to public debate, and don’t prioritise misinformation. I understand and respect colleagues who remain on the platform.
