To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of awareness that those who have capital or assets above £23,250 must pay the full cost of any adult social care; and what plans they have to increase awareness that adult social care is not free at...
The Department has not made a specific assessment of the awareness of the £23,250 upper capital limit.
The Government is committed to reforming adult social care and has established an independent commission, chaired by the Noble Baroness, Casey of Blackstock, to lead a national conversation on the future of adult social care. The Government has no current plans to undertake a specific awareness campaign on adult social care charging. However, the commission's terms of reference are sufficiently broad to enable it to consider how to build a system that is fair, affordable, and fit for the future, including issues relating to the understanding of the adult social care system. Phase 1 will report later this year.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what advertising campaigns are planned during the final six months of the Financial Recognition Scheme.
The Government continues to take a proactive approach to ensure all those affected by the Ban are made aware of the LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme, including those who may not be engaged with established veteran or digital communication channels.
For the final six months of the Scheme, Defence will continue to work with local councils, the NHS, community groups, Veterans’ Commissioners, both LGBT and military charities and other relevant stakeholders.
The MOD will also launch an externally delivered communications campaign to reach more isolated veterans, supported by the continued distribution of a stakeholder pack to promote the Schemes.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what savings her Department has made to communications and marketing spending by cancelling the Environment Agency Fishing Licence Marketing Campaign since July 2024.
Following a Government wide review of campaigns with over 100k spend, it was communicated in September 2024 that the EA fishing licence campaign would not continue in 25/26. At this point the campaign's marketing budget for 24/25 (300k) had already been utilised.
In November 2024, a strategic business case asking for the campaign to be reinstated and requesting budget for 25/26 and 26/27 was submitted to Cabinet Office. Budget of £250,000 per annum was subsequently approved.

I refer the Hon Member to Question UIN 12840 answered on 30 June 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of drink and drug driving enforcement campaigns.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of drink and drug driving enforcement campaigns.
The Department is strongly committed to reducing drink and drug driving on roads, and uses the THINK! Campaign in England and Wales as a key pillar in the Department’s commitment to improving road safety. The Department assesses the effectiveness of these campaigns through evaluation of awareness, recognition, reported behaviour change and attitudes towards risky driving behaviours.
THINK! is the Government’s flagship road safety campaign. Drink driving and drug driving are priority issues the campaign addresses, particularly among young men aged 17 to 24 who are four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured on the road than any other age group.
Against a backdrop of consistent long-term funding for THINK! campaigns, the number of killed or seriously injured casualties involving a young car driver has fallen 61% in the last 20 years, from 12,190 in 2004 to 4,740 in 2024. Whilst it is not possible to directly attribute changes in road deaths to any single factor, research shows that there have been high levels of self-reported action amongst young people as a result of seeing a THINK! campaign, with 9 in 10 taking action, including changing their own driving behaviour.
In the summer of 2025, as a direct result of seeing THINK!’s recent campaigns on drink driving and the promotion of THINK! 0%:
- 59% of young men said they chose not to drink any alcohol before driving or not to drive if they had been drinking.
- There was an 8 percentage point increase in the number of young men saying they would abstain completely from alcohol if they were driving.
- There was a significant increase in the proportion of young male drivers who said they are very likely to have a 0% alcohol alternative when driving, up from 31% to 42% post-campaign.
In November 2025, THINK! launched a new marketing campaign to raise awareness of drug driving, in response to the increasing trend of collisions involving a driver impaired by drugs. The campaign delivered positive results from its first run and was the most noticed THINK! campaign in recent years:
- 72% of young men recognised the campaign.
- 40% of those who did said they changed their own driving behaviour as a result, including not driving if they had taken drugs or finding an alternative form of transport if they had.
- There was also a 7 percentage point increase in young men’s awareness that driving on drugs can lead to a criminal record.
Enforcement of drink and drug driving legislation, and how available resources are deployed, is an operational matter for individual Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners to determine in conjunction with local crime and policing plans, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.

Other than that reported in the answer on 13 March to Question 117710, the Department has not found any additional external expenditure on advertising, marketing, external public relations or other communications activity specifically in relation to the announcement of regulated rail fares for 2026-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has had discussions with social media companies regarding the promotion of public water safety awareness campaigns.
