Former Ministers: Pay

Volume 497: debated on Wednesday 21 October 2009

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what information her Department holds on the level of remuneration made to former Ministers given permission to take private sector jobs within two years of leaving office. (293486)

The Ministerial Code requires that former Ministers must seek advice from the independent Advisory Committee on Business Appointments about any appointments or employment they wish to take up within two years of leaving office, apart from unpaid appointments in non-commercial organisations. There is no requirement for former Ministers to reveal details of their proposed remuneration packages.
