Some of them clearly are not worth their pay

Measures to strengthen the UK’s corporate governance framework and shareholder influence over executive pay have been outlined.  The paper sets out a range of options to address concerns around levels of executive pay, increasing representation of workers, customers, suppliers & investors in the boardroom, and whether our largest private companies should be subject to more rigorous corporate governance rules.

It calls on businesses, investors, workers and members of the public to give their views on what should be done to ensure that the UK’s corporate governance framework helps to deliver an economy that works for all and maintain our reputation as the best place in Europe to do business.
