Last month when we attempted to fact check claims about the cost of the emergency alerts system, the Cabinet Office declined to give any figure. Now, after a question in Parliament, it’s said it expects to spend up to £25.3m on the system over 3 years.
and that the system would then cost £10,000 a day to maintain.
When we attempted to fact check these claims, the Cabinet Office declined to give any figure for the cost of the system, even though transparently setting out how much was spent would have provided clarity and helped set straight any false or misleading claims. Now however the government has disclosed some details in response to a question in Parliament, revealing that the £22 million figure which some claimed was the cost of the test alone is close to the total amount expected to be spent on the entire system in its first three years.
However, we still don’t know how much the test alone cost—the written question did not ask this and a figure for that has still not been released. We’ve asked the Cabinet Office again about this and will update this fact check if we hear back.
