Sue Gray is being paid more than her boss
Ministers have “no political input” in the pay of their advisers, the Business Secretary has said, as he defended Sir Keir Starmer amid criticism of his chief of staff’s £170,000 salary.
“I don’t, for instance, get to set the pay for my own advisers who work directly for me. So there’s a process, we don’t have political input into that.” The BBC report on her pay is the latest of a number of negative stories about the aide, and comes amid suggestions of mounting acrimony at the heart of the new Government over her earnings.
This is not reflected in the most recent publicly available report outlining special adviser salaries and pay bands, which is from July 2023. Mr Reynolds told Times Radio: “It’s not a perk of the job, it’s part of the job. People want to engage with decision-makers. They want to ask you to be aware of what they are doing.
