They're not in it for the money of course...

The Taxpayers' Alliance has today published a list of the 171 most well-paid public sector employees in the UK (here).

As far as I can see, the only Scottish post on the list is that of Jack Perry of Scottish Enterprise at no 86. Mr Perry is said to have pocketed £193,000 in 2005-06, which is relatively modest compared to some of his confreres south of the border. He can console himself with the thought that at least he is earning more than the £186,429 which was the lot of the Prime Minister (at no 88). Neither the First Minister (from memory earning about £132,000) nor Sir John Elvidge (probably a little more) made the top 171.
