Ministry of Justice: Public Appointments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many political appointees have been made by his Department since July 2024.
Answered by Jake Richards
We have taken ‘political appointees’ to mean special advisers.
A list of special advisers by Department is published each year in the Annual Report on Special Advisers which is laid in Parliament. The Annual Report on Special Advisers 2026 will be published in due course.
