A total of 53 non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) were signed between parliamentary officials and former staff at a cost of £2,507,176.
Every settlement included a confidentiality clause, Commons authorities admitted. But they insisted they do not stop people who sign the contracts from whistleblowing.
Commons spend on NDAs:
:: 2013 – £916,082
:: 2014 – £405,682
:: 2015 – £182,706
:: 2016 – £584,893
:: 2017 – £317,893
Maria Miller told the Press Association: “There needs to be as much transparency as there can be as to how this money is being used and why such a relatively large amount of money was needed to deal with severance agreements.”
