Commissioner orders disclosure of names of public sector workers earning over £150,000
Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, has today ordered the Cabinet Office to disclose the names of 24 public sector workers who earn more than £150,000. This follows a request for information to the Cabinet Office who had previously withheld the information on the basis that the individuals did not consent to their details being released.
Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, said:
"If you are earning over £150,000 working for a body that is funded by the public purse then there is now a legitimate expectation that your name and salary details will be disclosed. Being open and transparent is an integral part of being accountable to the taxpayer and, like it or not, this level of disclosure goes with the territory."
