Special Advisers to the Labour Government 1997-1999

In April 2006, GMB (the "general union") commissioned a report outlining the career trajectories of former Labour Special Advisers, which observed that:

It is rare that a Special Adviser from the early years of the Labour Government is not now benefiting from that special relationship with the Government. Their biographies often emphasise the role that they had, and note that the role has given them significantly advantageous access to knowledge about Government workings, leading to business and policy opportunities.[1]
