Special Advisers: Pay

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 14 January 2025UIN 22188

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to his Department's publication entitled Special adviser data releases: numbers and costs, November 2024, published on 28 November 2024, for what reason his Department has not published the list of special adviser salaries for the current administration; and if he will publish the current list of special advisers before the end of the calendar year.

Answered by Georgia Gould

As was the case under the previous administration, annual reports on special advisers relate to the preceding financial year.

The Annual Report on Special Advisers published on 28 November 2024, therefore relates to the 2023/24 financial year.

The 2025 Annual Report on Special Advisers, which will relate to the 2024/25 financial year, will be published before the end of this year.
