Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 12 of the Memorandum for the Ministry of Defence Main Estimate 2023-24, which Minister in the Cabinet Office had Special Advisers paid for through Other Government Departments (OGD) transfers of £350,000 in the 2023-24 financial year.
This question was answered on 4th December 2023
All Special Advisers including those in the Ministry of Defence are administered centrally by the Cabinet Office. This cost is then recovered by the Cabinet Office as part of the Estimates process. Therefore no Minister in the Cabinet Office had Special Advsiers paid for through OGD transfers in 2023-2024 financial year.
