Ban political Special Advisers

Petition Details

Ministers (including the Prime Minister) should be barred from employing political Special Advisers on the public payroll. Anyone employed by a Government department (or No. 10) should be hired through normal Civil Service recruitment procedures to fill a recognised vacancy.

Additional Information

Political Special Advisers are, by definition, political. They act for the benefit of a political party or their individual minister, not for the public. If a minister wishes to have a political Special Adviser, that person should be employed and paid by the minister personally or by his political party.
