More than 500 council chiefs in UK earn more than British PM, some using taxes for perks
George Osborne has warned council chiefs in England they should not be using taxpayers’ money to pay for private health insurance as he promised to rein in “unacceptable” pay and perks in the public sector.
The British Chancellor indicated that he would be issuing new guidance to public sector employers after he said figures released under the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act showed “scope” for further savings.
