ffuturesThe Master is a better employer than the British government.
Compare how both get Torchwood out of the way when they might otherwise ask awkward questions:
The Master - sends them to the Himalayas on a wild goose chase.
HM Govt. - blows up their HQ and sends assassins after them.
Of course nobody's perfect, and the Master does occasionally terminate employees who have outlived their usefulness or get on his nerves - e.g. Chan-To, though in that case it wasn't actually The Master who originally hired her, but his predecessor Yana.
Any thoughts?

They also knew that Torchwood (or one of them) already knew the Answer, whereas the Master could be pretty sure that they didn't know abotu the Toclafane.
