Ofcom Discussion

The boss of communications watchdog Ofcom, Ed Richards is on a reported renumeration package worth £392,056. This is some 22 times the £18,000 salary of his lowest-paid staff, approx 700 staff.

David Cameron pledged earlier this year that no public sector boss should earn more than 20 times the salary of the lowest-paid worker was coupled with a promise of a review ‘to investigate pay inequality in the public sector’.

He also pledged to look at quango's in general so his minister Jeremy Hunt should now start this process and not concentrate wholly on the olympic delivery, otherwise it's going to be another two years before we see any action.
