§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many personal advisers Ministers of his Department have; if he will list them by name, showing the date of appointment, salary bands and areas of responsibility; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerOne special adviser, Mr. Tony Kerpel, is employed in the Home Office. He was appointed with effect from 3 December 1990. He will provide advice on a wide range of Home Office subjects.
It is not the practice to disclose the salaries of individual advisers as they are negotiated individually in relation to previous outside earnings and are therefore confidential.
