(asked on 14th October 2025) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what were the total severance payments made to (1) ministers, and (2) special advisers, who left government in the past 12 months; and what was the total amount of those payments.
This question was answered on 24th October 2025
The cost of severance payments for Ministers is not held centrally by the Cabinet Office as individual departments are responsible for administering severance payments to their Ministers.
The cost of severance payments for special advisers between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025 was £3.1 million.
