Salaries Of Senior Executives Of Industry Regulators

EDM number 905 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 26/02/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Pay and Regulation.

That this House notes with concern the salaries being paid to senior executives of industry regulators; further notes that Colette Bowe, the newly-appointed Chair of Ofcom, is being paid a salary of £200,000 for up to three days a week; recognises the important role industry regulators have to play but at the same time realises that one of the primary roles of regulators is to curb any excesses by private companies and therefore they should set an example in their own salary structure; and therefore calls on the Government to review the wage structure for senior executives of industry regulators.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
