The cost of special advisors to the taxpayer

If you've been wodnering what the salary costs of special advisors were for the last year, Gordon Brown has finally released figures for how many people are in what pay band here.

I've just done the sums and across the Government in the last year, special advisors cost the taxpayer somewhere between £3,926,140 and £5,655,122 in salary cost.

What a bargain!
