SNP Member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow’s East End, John Mason, is raising the issue of the widening gap between the rich and the poor in the Scottish Parliament.
The Shettleston MSP today (Friday) tabled a motion in the Scottish Parliament for Members’ business which would lead to a debate on excessive pay if it attracts cross-party support. Mr Mason’s motion notes the failure of the recent Hutton report on Fair Pay to recommend that the remuneration of an organisation’s highest-paid employee should be capped at 20 times that of the lowest paid. In his motion, he also goes on to lambast the recent bonus payment of Stephen Hester, Chief Executive of the tax-payer owned Royal Bank of Scotland who, in addition to his £1.2million a year salary, is reported to be receiving a £963,000 bonus. |
