Tory leaders picks out BW as big earners—but

Published: Wednesday, 29 April 2009
AT THE party's Spring Forum at Cheltenham, Tory David Cameron picked out various public official as 'big earners', including the bosses of British Waterways.

His theme was the present 'spendaholic' Government 'which wasted billions of taxpayers money on a swarm of unaccountable quangos that has infested our country under Labour'.

He picked out individuals on high salaries, including Ofcom Chief Executive Ed Richards on £400,000 and British Waterways Board bosses Robin Evans, Nigel Johnson, James Froomberg and Phillip Ridal, whose combined salaries, he commented reach £900,000, which was enough to employ 30 nurses.

However, David should get himself better advisers, for James Froomberg, for one, left that position last year.
