Salary details of highest-paid civil servants revealed
In a "radical shake-up of government transparency" the Cabinet Office has published the salaries of the highest-earning senior civil servants on its web site.
The name, job title, grade and salary level of senior civil servants across Whitehall with salaries more than £150,000 was released – the first time some of this information has ever been made public. Francis Maude, Minister for the Cabinet Office, acting on commitments made in the Coalition Agreement, has overseen the publication. Later this week the Cabinet Office will also publish organisation charts of its senior civil servants with their contact details.

More names will follow in due course as the government has committed to publishing from September 2010 names, grades, job titles and annual pay rates for most Senior Civil Servants and NDPB officials with salaries higher than the lowest permissible in pay band 1 of the senior civil service pay scale.
