Polly Mackenzie

Polly Mackenzie is a senior policy and strategy adviser for Nick Clegg. Iain Dale 50 Most influential Lib Dems The Telegraph, 17 Sep 2013, Accessed 9/9/14 For this role, Mackenzie is paid an annual salary of £80,000. Special advisers in post, 30 November 2014 GOV.UK, accessed 28 April 2015 
==Background==
Raised in Builth Wells, Cambridge graduate Mackenzie is a former journalist for Property Week Magazine and the daughter of Powys County Councillor Maureen Mackenzie.Richard Jones, "'Cleggmania's no surprise to me' - meet the Lib Dem speechwriter from Powys", County Times, 06.05.10, accessed 08.09.10 
29 year old Mackenzie was formerly Senior Strategy Adviser in the office of Prime Minister David Cameron.Department of Information Services, "Parliamentary Information List", accessed 07.09.10
She is currently head of strategic policy for the Liberal Democrats and Nick Clegg’s chief speech-writerRichard Jones, "'Cleggmania's no surprise to me' - meet the Lib Dem speechwriter from Powys", County Times, 06.05.10, accessed 08.09.10, and is Clegg's "second pair of eyes and ears in the Number 10 bunker".Staff writers, "Insider's Guide: Number 10 comms - Who's who in Number 10 bunker", Media Week, 08.07.10, accessed 08.09.10 
In an interview in April 2010, Mackenzie commented:
::I don't have friends in the other parties. Most of my mates just aren't very political, although I did date someone from the Labour Party once. It was awful. We had an argument about human rights and it didn't go any further! But I'm perfectly capable of talking to someone who's not a Lib Dem - even someone from the Conservative Party!Laura Millar, "Meet the most important women in politics - and no it's not the wives! ", News of the World, 25.04.10, accessed 08.09.10
This open-mindedness proved fortunate, as Mackenzie was appointed Senior Strategy Adviser in the Coalition Government, requiring that she develop a "closeness" (replicating that of the "Cleggeron relationship") in her work alongside Tory spindoctor Steve Hilton.Anne McElvoy, "Nick Clegg finds it’s lonely at the top, even for a temp", London Evening Standard, 25.08.10, accessed 08.09.10
In 2009 it was reported in The Independent that "Party bigwigs are encouraging her to stand for Parliament".Iain Dale, "Top 50 most influential Liberal Democrats: 25-1", The Telegraph, 22.09.09, accessed 08.09.10 In an interview in May 2010, she was "not ruling out a future political career for herself".Richard Jones, "'Cleggmania's no surprise to me' - meet the Lib Dem speechwriter from Powys", County Times, 06.05.10, accessed 08.09.10

Pool Re (Nuclear)

==Background==
:Pool Re and Pool Re (Nuclear) are mutual reinsurance companies, owned by insurers. Their role is to provide terrorism cover for damage to industrial and commercial property or nuclear facilities and consequential business interruption following a terrorist attack in Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland). HM Treasury carries the contingent liability for the risk that the losses incurred by Pool Re or Pool Re (Nuclear) exceed their available resources. The total reserves of Pool Re as at the date of their last published accounts (December 2011) were £4.5 billion (2010: £4.2 billion) and of Pool Re (Nuclear) were £26.5 million (2010: £25.5 million). In the event of losses exceeding Pool Re’s or Pool Re (Nuclear)’s available resources, HM Treasury will fund the difference which will be repaid by Pool Re or Pool Re Nuclear over time. Maximum potential liabilities under this arrangement are therefore considered unquantifiable. These arrangements are given statutory authority under the Reinsurance (Acts of Terrorism) Act 1993. HM Treasury, July 2012 HC 46 Annual Report and Accounts 2011-12, published 16 July 2012 acc 9 October 2013
