Rayner Rules Out Repaying Severance Cash After Making Cabinet Return The reappointment of Angela Rayner as Labour's deputy prime minister and housing secretary has reignited debate about ministerial severance payments.
Rayner received a £16,876 payment after resigning from her position last year, and her decision not to repay it despite being reinstated has sparked criticism.
Critics argue that the system of severance payments for departing ministers is opaque and open to abuse.
