From FT.com:
The government will today announce its long-awaited response to the pay recommendations for 2009-10 from the senior salaries review body – affecting the senior military, senior National Health Service managers, the judiciary and senior civil servants – the armed forces pay review body and the doctors and dentists review body. Mr Brown ordered all ministers to reject a 2.33 per cent pay increase for MPs for this financial year, announced on Monday, as well as freezing ministerial salaries. MPs’ pay will rise from £63,291 to £64,766.
“Their pay has been frozen. That’s the right thing to do when people are suffering in the economy,” Mr Brown told a Downing Street press conference. “I made that decision myself and ministers have supported that decision.”
Are there any 'Al Pollock' type folk left in the RAF? Remember his Tower Bridge and Houses of Parliament fly-by on 4 Apr 1968.....
That certainly got the government's attention!!
