Has the SpAd vacancy for the Welsh Secretary been filled?

Hat Tip to the FT Westminster blog

It’s been widely reported that Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan has appointed Sam Gibbs her former researcher as the new Special Advisor at the Welsh Office, but in a freedom of information request about the pay of all Special Advisors in the new Government published today, it clearly states on page 3 of the document that as of the 10th June there is a Vacancy for the SpAd role at the Welsh Office.

So what’s going on, has there been a rethink at Gwydyr House in light of the problems the Conservatives are having regarding Wales or is it a case of lack of communication between Government Departments that left Cheryl’s staffer off the list?
