To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many full-time equivalent staff in her Department have been employed for the purpose of making social media content in each of the last three years.

Answer

Simon Lightwood
Due to the difficulty of disaggregating the number of staff who are employed to produce social media content from staff who are employed to work on broader digital communications, it is not possible to report exact figures in response to this question.
