Annex 1
Letter of reply from Sir Richard Wilson, KCB
1 August 2000
Thank you for your letters of 19 and 20 July seeking
information on the age and career history of Special Advisers
along with a description of their individual work responsibilities.
All special advisers are appointed under terms and
conditions set out in the Model Contract for Special Advisers.
As requested, I enclose a list of the special advisers working
in No 1 and the Cabinet Office together with a breakdown of their
individual responsibilities. Sir Richard does not feel however
that he can agree to provide information relating to the educational
qualifications and career history of the individuals concerned.
This is personal information between the employer and employee
which we would not supply about permanent civil servants, and
it is not for departments to make public information that has
been given in confidence.
Sir Richard Wilson, KCB
