Question

Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

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

Answer

Kirsty McNeill

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.
