The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the criteria are for completing a probationary period for special advisers; and who is responsible for determining whether those criteria have been met.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Information on the probationary period for special advisers is set out in sections 5 and 6a of the Model Contract for Special Advisers, which is published on gov.uk. There have been no changes to the provisions from when the Rt Hon member was a Minister in the department.
