Tories and the Taxpayers' Alliance attack rapid increase in City-ctyle salaries

Leading public sector employees are being paid City-style salaries, with three earning more than £1 million a year and 46 on more than £250,000 a year, says a report on the highest-paid public servants.

The Tories said “the world has gone mad”, with 25 public employees earning more than twice as much as the Prime Minister and some earning six times as much.

The first Public Sector Rich List, compiled by the Taxpayers’ Alliance, shows that 87 public servants earn more than Tony Blair and 171 take home more than £150,000 a year. The high-earners include executives of big public sector corporations, including the BBC, Royal Mail and Network Rail, as well as NHS bosses, Whitehall mandarins and leaders of local authorities, regional development agencies and little-known quangos. Overall, their pay rose by 8.4 per cent last year.

Explains a lot.
