Former British Prime Minister David Cameron was appointed foreign secretary on Monday in a dramatic reshuffle of the cabinet that includes current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
From 2010 to 2016, Cameron served as prime minister, guiding Britain through the divisive Brexit referendum that finally led to his resignation.
In this article, we find out about the details concerning David Cameron’s salary as Foreign Secretary.
David Cameron’s salary as Foreign Secretary
Former British Prime Minister David Cameron’s sudden and dramatic return to government as Foreign Secretary is unprecedented in the annals of political comebacks.
Cameron quit his position right away and left politics after trying in vain to convince the British people to vote to “remain” in the European Union during the 2016 Brexit referendum.
David Cameron, the Foreign Secretary in the Lords, will receive £104,360 in pay. He will not be claiming the public service allowance of the former PM. Uncertain, though, if he will accept the roughly £30,000 office stipend.
Cameron already has a net worth of £40million. When the Prime Minister held his position in Parliament, his official remuneration was £150,403. However, Mr. Cameron discovered other sources of income after departing in 2016, such as giving speeches in public. According to reports, he spoke at the Washington Speakers Bureau for £120,000 per hour.
