Treasury suspends aide ‘over anti-EU book’ as co-author slams decision as an ‘outrageous act of bullying’

- Dr Radomir Tylecote was ‘granted paid leave’ from his job

- The Treasury’s decision has been branded an ‘outrageous act of bullying’ and an ‘attack on free speech’, according to Sir Bill Cash
An academic working as an adviser for the Treasury has been suspended from his Whitehall role after co-authoring a book criticising the EU.
Following that, Dr Radomir Tylecote was ‘granted paid leave’ from his job at Behavioural Insights Team – a firm contracted to work for the Government.
He wrote From Brussels With Love, an analysis of the EU’s origins, with Maastricht rebel and Tory Eurosceptic MP Sir Bill Cash, chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee. Sir Bill said the Treasury’s decision was an ‘outrageous act of bullying’ and an ‘attack on free speech’.
Crucially, he pointed out, Dr Tylecote is employed by a private company. As a result, he is not a crown servant, and not bound by strict impartiality rules. Sir Bill said last night: ‘This is a man who is just doing his job for the Government and who is more than entitled to publish a book when he has told his employers explicitly what he intends to do …
‘All this is an extension of the general attacks on Eurosceptics for daring to stand up for their country.’
Dr Tylecote, 34, has a PhD from London’s Imperial College Business School, and a Master’s degree in economics with Mandarin from Cambridge University.
