Chancellor of the exchequer Jeremy Hunt has formally left a charity he founded and its chief executive has also departed after some concerns were expressed over his high salary.
Smith is Hunt’s former special adviser. He resigned from that position in 2012 after allegations that he had too close a relationship with News Corporation.
The charity came under scrutiny earlier this year when Civil Society News revealed it was paying Smith, its only employee, £110,000 – £120,000, around 72% of the charity's annual income.
