FOI Ref: FOI/2022/4058
You asked
I would like to know the number and names of the UK MPs who employ a spouse/ family member as their political secretary?
I would also be interested as to how the secretarial role was advertised along with how each candidate was interviewed etc.
Along with this information would it be possible to find out if the secretaries receive an annual review? If there is such a process how many exceed/ meet or fail their reviews? Plus, what is the annual remuneration and subsequent bonus?
