Minister of State at the Department of Defence

One of my two special advisers is employed as a Press Adviser and is the only person employed in my Department who works full time in the area of media and social media. Two other members of my Department's staff work in its Press Office, while also having a number of other duties and responsibilities. My Department does not employ any of its staff to work in a marketing capacity.
