Perhaps it is because the government are actually the employer and thus it should be the govenment that sets the terms of renumeration for it's employees.

Once upon a time there was something called London Weighting, in salary packages. That was supposed to represent the extra costs of those who worked there.
Why shouldn't salaries be determined by region and location? As a private sector emplyee in the south east I don;t earn as much as if I worked in London, where I could communte. But if I commuted I'd want a larger salary to compensate for that time and cost. So why is it wrong for such regionalisation to be spread around the country to reflect real value of those locations?
