Proceeding contribution from Geraldine Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Smarter Government.
Smarter Government
I am delighted that my right hon. Friend is looking to scrap or rationalise 123 quangos for starters—not before time. One chief executive of a quango told me that he was on £1,000 a day. That is disgraceful when there are public sector workers at the bottom who are paid £10,000 a year. We need to protect them and keep them in work to keep the economy going, and we need to ensure that we get rid of some of the fat cats.
