Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many (a) press officers and (b) other officials of his Department have been or are undertaking work related to the referendum on UK membership of the EU; for how long each such official has been working on that matter; and what the salary is of each such official.

Staff within the longstanding International and EU group lead on providing advice to Ministers on EU and EU related issues. Staff within other groups may also provide advice or analysis on EU issues as required.

HM Treasury do not routinely capture information about each employee’s specific work. To provide information capturing the length of time official’s worked specifically on the referendum would incur disproportionate costs. Information on HM Treasury staff salaries is published on this link:
