	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2018 answer text <p>Video clips were produced in-house by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) digital communication team in London. They were published on corporate FCO social media channels and made available to the FCO's global network of Posts overseas for publication on local social media channels. Most of the footage used was filmed by FCO staff or a hired video producer at Post, or supplied by partner organisations such as Department for International Development, the Red Cross or the United Nations at no cost. To maximise the lifetime value of content, footage collected is archived and re-used. With the repeated reuse of archive, it is difficult to provide a precise figure for the costs of footage used in a specific video.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan grouped question UIN 177218 question first answered 17/10/2018 16:26:52 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
