The Treasury allocated £100m to Cabinet Office to deliver the No-Deal Brexit Public Information Campaign in August 2019. The costs of the campaign will be published monthly on gov.uk, as part of routine government transparency. This will be broken down by supplier. The Treasury does not hold a detailed breakdown of how departments have allocated funding for no-deal preparations, therefore it is difficult to determine the exact amount spent on any other advertising delivered by individual departments.

The Home Office is responsible for delivery of the national police recruitment campaign.

No tender was sent out specifically for the police recruitment campaign website. The national police recruitment campaign, including the campaign website, is delivered through existing government contracts with government-procured agencies who work across a number of Home Office priority issues. These contracts are awarded through open competition and spend is capped to ensure value for money for the taxpayer – contractual information is available to the public through Contracts Finder.

The Home Office has worked with its contracted digital agency , Story UK.

No advertising channels have been used by Story UK in relation to the website and no money spent.

Since the previous Secretary of State announced the DCMS review into how online advertising is regulated in the UK, my department has established a team to take this work forward, including further evidence gathering and stakeholder engagement.

This review will identify and address the systemic social and economic challenges that arise from online advertising. It will consider a range of options to ensure the UK's approach to regulating online advertising is fit for purpose, including measures to ensure users are sufficiently protected from harm.

The review will complement and build on other relevant work underway across government and in external organisations, which are due to report in the winter. This includes the Competition and Markets Authority’s market study into online platforms and digital advertising, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation report on online targeting and the Information Commissioner’s Office’s work on adtech.

Further details will be set out in due course.

A robust law enforcement response is a fundamental part of the government's drug strategy and we are taking coordinated action to tackle illegal drugs alongside associated criminal activity. Law enforcement agencies continue to work with internet service providers to shut down UK-based websites found to be committing offences such as selling drugs controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

The government has been clear that more needs to be done to tackle online harms, including sale of illegal goods. That is why the Government published the Online Harms White Paper, which sets out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online and hold companies to account for tackling a wide range of online harms.

In February this year, the government also announced its intention to review how online advertising is regulated in the UK, looking at how well the current regime is equipped to tackle the challenges posed by technological developments seen in online advertising.

The Cabinet Office has undertaken to publish information relating to ongoing expenditure on the public information campaign as part of the department’s monthly data transparency releases. The published information will be available on a regular basis on GOV.UK here: (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cabinet-office-spend-data)

All advertising locations for the “Get Ready for Brexit” campaign were selected to fit two criteria:

1. to reach as many UK citizens and businesses as possible;

2. to ensure key messages are delivered to groups most likely to need to take action before the UK leaves the EU;

Messages and audiences were identified and independent advertising agency partners recommended the most appropriate and effective channels and locations.

We do not publish the individual postcodes where adverts are placed for any government campaign.

Learning about politics is an important part of a broad and balanced education that prepares young people for adult life. All head teachers, however, are required to ensure impartiality and balanced treatment of political issues in schools.

The Government has committed to increasing the number of police officers by 20,000 over the next three years. We are committed to giving police the re-sources, tools and powers they need to tackle the scourge of crime.

The Home Office does not hold figures for the number of police officer vacancies advertised prior to 23 July 2019.

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) had previously announced plans to recruit 3000 additional officers in 2019/20. The recruitment of 20,000 offic-ers announced by the Government is in addition to these numbers already announced by PCCs.

The Department for Education has not spent any money on advertising in schools in relation to the UK leaving the EU in the last 6 months.

The Department is providing its own guidance to the education sectors that it serves, via published information on GOV.UK, support through existing networks and otherwise through the normal conduct of the day-to-day business of the Government.

Cabinet Office does not publish the list of bidders for any contract - we only publish the winning bid. This is in line with The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, regulation 108.

The Department for Work and Pensions engage with participating energy suppliers to match the name and address details of those who fall within the “Core Group” of people automatically eligible for the Warm Home Discount and will write to them, either confirming, in the large majority of cases, that the discount will be paid automatically, or explaining that they need to verify their details with the Warm Home Discount helpline.

Notice is also provided to the public through GOV.UK, the website for the UK Government. For the “Broader Group” (those who may be eligible subject to an application) participating energy suppliers notify their customers in a variety of ways, including on their websites and some also choose to write to them or use referral bodies. Some organisations, such as Citizens Advice, also signpost eligible individuals to the scheme.
