-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many X Premium accounts the Ministry of Defence has (1) paid for, or (2) been granted for free by X, in the past year; and whether they intend to renew them.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence has not entered into any contracts with X and has no recorded contract expenditure with the company.
X is used solely to communicate with the public. A small annual cost of less than £100 is incurred where a channel requires a Premium subscription. The number of paid for X Premium accounts and the overall cost is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The MOD central communications team has one X Premium account which is paid for annually to support the management and operation of the official @DefenceHQ channel.
