Policy/Expert Advisers

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Home Office should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Home Office

Within government there are a number of individuals working as Special Advisers as defined by S15(1) constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010.

There are also a number of individuals working across government known as Policy Advisers, Expert Advisers or similar. These individuals are often employed on 2 year contracts and work very closely with Ministers and/or Special Advisers providing policy advice

Please advise how many of these individuals are employed in these roles within the Home Office and break down for each year between 2010 and 2018.

Yours faithfully,

David Spencer
