Some civil servant retirees re-employed in new role
The policy and reform minister says he's not surprised twenty government employees have received a so-called "golden handshake" of £100,000 or more in the last five years.
Chris Thomas was answering a question from MHK Jason Moorhouse, who had asked if a cap on any amount given could be considered.
Mr Thomas admits there are cases where a departing civil servant can be taken back on, in different role:
