Cost of enforcement

Published: Thursday, 06 September 2012

I see Paul Griffin has stated today [Wednesday] in his reply that he now has 22 'Enforcement Officers' at his disposal, writes John Wilkinson.

So, at an annual salary of, let us suppose, £20,000 (I would guess this is a conservative figure) x 22 = £440,000 per annum.

Other staff

I assume there will also be assorted strata of management/secretarial staff etc to service the 22, with additional costs?

Would Mr. Griffin like to state what the total cost of salaries, vehicles, fuel, uniforms, telephones and all the other equipment presumably necessary for these 'Officers' to carry out their duties is, per annum?

In addition, would he then like to state exactly how much in licence fees etc. these people recoup each year?
