Closed petition Limit government special advisor severance pay to the minimum contract amount

Closed on

Former Prime Minister David Cameron has overruled civil service advice so his special advisers get severance pay worth £282,000. This is contractually unnecessary and morally wrong at a time of public spending austerity. It smacks of cronyism and the money would be better spent on essential services
