James McGrory is deputy director of communications for the deputy prime minister Nick Clegg.[1] Mcgrory was promoted to this role in April 2014.

As a special adviser to Mr Clegg, MrGrory gets an annual salary of £66,000. [2]

Background

Following a reshuffling of Nick Clegg's special advisers in late August 2010, McGrory was moved from the position of justice and home affairs adviser in Downing Street to replace Lena Pietsch as spokesperson for the Deputy Prime Minister. The changes came amid concerns that the Liberal Democrats have too few ministers and special advisers[3].
