56. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will provide full details, including salary, of every appointment he has approved since coming into office of special advisers under his remit; the salary cap that is in place with respect to special adviser appointments; the number of appointments he has approved with salaries in excess of the cap; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I intend to appoint two Special Advisers – Sarah Kavanagh and Susie O’Connor. Contractual arrangements are yet to be finalised. I can confirm that there is no request to breach the Government’s salary cap in respect of these roles.
