Special Advisers: Redundancy Pay

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 12 May 2025UIN 49387

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish individual severance payments made to departing special advisers at pay band Level 4 since July 2024.

Answered by Georgia Gould

It is a longstanding policy not to comment on individuals. The Model Contract for Special Advisers is published online and details the circumstances in which severance is payable. Total severance costs are released in the annual report, which will be published in due course.
