EXECUTIVE PAY

Early day motion 1632, tabled 8 September 2003 by Adam Price (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 32 members.

That this House notes with deep concern that the average pay for a FTSE 100 chief executive is now ú1,677,685; further notes that the pay of bosses is rising seven times faster than the wage of their workers; believes that the directors of the UK's leading companies are incapable of self-restraint; and therefore calls on the Government to impose legislation linking the pay increases of bosses to those of their workers.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Plaid Cymru 4, Labour/Co-operative 3, Liberal Democrat 3.
