Further to your response to my original request, and subsequent phone call to you today 28th March 2025, I am submitting this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2014. I am requesting statistics from access to the following records: 1. A record of the TOTAL number of staff in the Department of Defence who are in receipt of the Keyholder Allowance. 2. From your payroll records, please provide a breakdown of these staff members by grade (whether Industrial / Clerical / Administration). If no single record contains the exact details sought, I request access to any records that would allow for this information to be compiled. If my request is unclear or requires refinement, I am open to clarifying it, but I am requesting a formal response under FOI rather than an informal disclosure outside the statutory process.

A list of all individuals appointed as Special Advisers to any Minister or Minister of State within the Department, from 2011 to date, including: • Name of the adviser • Minister to whom they were assigned • Date of appointment • Date of resignation or cessation (if applicable) • Sanctioned salary rate at time of appointment • Total remuneration actually paid during the period of their service (gross, per year or cumulative) Any records containing biographical information provided to the Department or held by the Department in relation to those advisers, such as: • Curriculum Vitae (CV) • Biographical summaries prepared for internal use, ministerial briefings, or external publication (e.g., press releases or website bios) I believe the relevant records should all be held by HR/Payroll, although the requested information may not exist in a single precompiled record. I therefore request that, where necessary, new record(s) be created, under Section 17(4) of the FOI Act 2014, for the purpose of collating the requested details — particularly in relation to total pay received, biographical information, and the full timeline of appointments and resignations.
