Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [Lords].


Public Bodies Bill [Lords]

Surely the concern is not just over the amazingly expensive offices that many quangos like to equip themselves with, but over the amount of pay that they receive. People at the UK Film Council get more than £150,000 a year, the British Waterways chief executive gets £230,000, and a similar amount goes to the chief executive of the Dover Harbour Board, dare I mention it? Surely we should ensure that the cost of each individual is reduced to a sensible amount.
