John McTernan is the Director of Political Operations at Number 10 Downing Street. He provides political management and support for the development of the Government's political strategy. The Labour Party pays his salary.

Controversy

In late 2006, it was reported that McTernan had been interviewed under police caution [1][2] under Scotland Yard's ongoing cash for peerages inquiry. McTernan has himself denied these reports[3].

However, he was questioned 'under caution' by police in January 2007.[4][5]
