It doesn't appear to be a formal position, might be to do with what looks to be a quango......the fairtrade org, a government spin off which is well funded and achieves very little it would appear.

So its probably the son/daughter/relation of another more senior minister who is being paid well on expenses  ;D

So, nothing to worry about!
