MSP demands boss bonuses answer

Jan 28 2010

Highly-paid public sector executives have come under renewed pressure to reveal whether they will give up their bonuses.

Jeremy Purvis, Liberal Democrat economy and finance spokesman, expressed concern at the "growing pay bill" for senior public sector executives during First Minister's Question Time.

Finance Secretary John Swinney wrote to quango chiefs seven months ago urging them to relieve the burden on public spending by waiving their bonuses.
