Max Chambers was appointed as special adviser for Home Affairs and Justice in the Number 10 Policy Unit in April 2014. [1]
As a special adviser in Number 10, Chambers gets an annual salary of £67,000. [2]
Chambers took on the home affairs brief that was left vacant following Patrick Rock’s resignation in February 2014. [3] He was appointed to advise the Prime Minister on a range of domestic policy issues including criminal justice, policing, immigration and counter-terrorism. [1]
Chambers has been particularly vocal about reforming the prison system. He recently stated that "We need a competent probation system that actually changes behaviour. The best way to do that is to reform the system so that there is a rigorous focus on compliance and a serious effort to punish infractions in a rapid and consistent way.' [4]
Background
Chambers read law at Nottingham University. Chambers has worked for a leading welfare-to-work provider, where he helped to establish and grow a new justice services division. Prior to this, he worked for Policy Exchange as senior research fellow. He has also worked in Parliament for the Shadow Justice and Home Affairs teams. [1]
