The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether Morgan McSweeney has been paid a severance payment, or payment in lieu of notice, following his departure as a special adviser.

It is a longstanding policy not to comment on individuals. The Model Contract for Special Advisers is published online and details the specific circumstances in which payments are payable.
