SALARIES OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES OF INDUSTRY REGULATORS

Early day motion 905, tabled 26 February 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 39 members.

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.
