This article seems to concentrate on "Special advisers" within the UK. As it is quite likely that the term "special adviser" is used in other countries as well, this article will either need a {{ globalise}} template or be moved to a place where the geographical distinction is clear, e.g. Special advisers in the United Kingdom. Are there any thoughts on this? Road Wizard ( talk) 07:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I'd rather keep this as specific to the UK. Rename the article if necessary TreveX ^talk 11:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC) reply

The 'Number and cost of special advisers' section is out of date. The phrases 'At the last full reporting' and 'no current advisor' seem to refer to the referenced document from 2006-2007. There are more recent reports (see external links), the latest being 2008-2009. Chris97 ( talk) 09:47, 23 April 2010 (UTC) reply
