Damn Liberal Tories, trying to
reduce inequality in pay in the public services as well as introducing an
Office for Budgetary Responsibility to introduce more checks and balances along with additional transparency on government spending.
One target for this is Ofcom, whose
CEO is
rather well compensated.
I am sure this is nothing at all to do with these parts of his biography as linked above:
Quote:
Ed was previously Senior Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister (Tony Blair) for Media, telecoms, the internet and e‑govt and Controller of Corporate Strategy at the BBC.
He has also worked in consulting at London Economics Ltd, as an advisor to Gordon Brown MP and began his career as a researcher with Diverse Production Ltd where he worked on programmes for Channel 4.

If you wonder why Ofcom is described as the most New Labour of all their Quangos you don't need to look much past that.
