Lord Laird – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Laird on 2015-10-27.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the estimated cost to answer a media query to the Government and whether they impose a limit on the number of questions a member of the media can ask in a week.

Lord Bridges of Headley

The Government receives a large number of media queries each day, which are received and managed by the relevant department.

The amount of time each media query takes depends on many factors and variables, so it is not possible to estimate an average cost or time. No restriction is placed on the number of queries a journalist can make.
