Local Government Funding

Lord Forsyth of Drumlean Excerpts

Wednesday 8th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I am certainly aware of how crucial some local government services are to local people, particularly in those demand-led services. As I said, public satisfaction with council services has remained or increased in the last few years.

[Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)]

Could my noble friend tell me how many local government senior officials and chief executives are paid more than the Prime Minister?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

There are quite a few, my Lords. If my noble friend has concerns about that, I share them.
