TimesonLine reports that the cost to the taxpayer of MPs, their salaries and expenses coupled with the regulatory body covering observance to the rules is set to top £175million in the latest budget covering this.
"Sir Ian Kennedy, its chairman, receives £700 a day, equivalent to more than £100,000 a year for his three-day week." Three day week? £700 a day? WTF! Now that is an area for cuts - cuts in exorbitant salaries for part-time managers/CEOs.
It also provides a clue to UKIP as to where their 'line of attack' should be because at the end of the day fiscal responsibility is the key to development - and maintenance - of a nation's productivity; that and self-government which is a prime requisite in order to be able to take those decisions!
Update: Another example of waste of taxpayer's money. Small beer, admittedly, but multiply this over all bureaucracies and it becomes something worth tackling.
