Councillors get £1 million extra to sit on committees
Councillors are receiving almost £1 million pounds a year extra to sit on little-known committees and discuss council work - making some of their pay packets larger than MPs’.
The elected figures are each given up to £15,556 from public funds to be members of the bodies, which usually meet for two hours, five or six times a year.
They include Sir Steve Bullock, the Labour mayor of Lewisham in London, who boosts his annual pay to almost £96,000 – about the same as a junior minister’s.
