answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>Policy responsibility for each specific type of public notice lies with a range of different government departments. The Government is mindful of the potential effect that any changes to the existing publicity requirements for public notices might have on transparency and local democracy, as well as the potential effect on the sustainability of the local news sector as a whole. We recognise the continued importance of print local newspapers to the communities they serve and that there will continue to be a need to reach out to people who cannot digitally access information.</p><p>At the same time, to help address the desire for more digitalisation and greater audience reach in the publication of public notices, the local newspaper sector has been working with Google to develop an online Public Notice Portal. The Portal is intended to take advantage of print publishers’ growing digital audiences, providing a centralised resource for all types of public notice. The Government is monitoring the Portal’s development, and the effect that it has on the transparency of public notices.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 09/02/2023 13:36:41 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2023 answer text <p>The Department publishes details of consultancy and professional services spending on an annual basis, in the Annual Report and Accounts. Due to the categorisation of spend within Department systems, it is not possible to extrapolate consultancy spend specifically in relation to recruitment activity. However, a total of £233,056.01 (excluding VAT) has been identified as spend on external recruitment consultants within the last three years, broken down as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Spend (Ex VAT)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/2021</p></td><td><p>£116,358.67</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/2022</p></td><td><p>£61,824.44</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022/2023 (to 31 January 2023)</p></td><td><p>£54,872.90</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>£233,056.01</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>This spending relates to external consultancy support, engaged by the Department, for the recruitment of substantive Civil Servants at delegated grades, Senior Civil Servants and Board Members, and excludes the recruitment and delivery of Apprenticeship schemes, and contingent labour workers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 16/02/2023 11:28:09 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
