Written Answers
Prime Minister: Staff
Asked by: Lord Butler of Brockwell (Crossbench - Life peer)
Wednesday 20th November 2024

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many staff are in the Prime Minister's office, and how many of those are party political appointees.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

For management and staffing purposes the Prime Minister’s Office is part of the Cabinet Office. There are 235 permanent civil servants employed by the Cabinet Office and allocated to the Prime Minister’s Office. As was the case under the previous Administration, information about Special Adviser numbers will be published in the Annual report on Special Advisers, and party political appointments are not a matter for the Government.
