Campaigners hit out at 'City salaries' for public sector bosses after revealing the 10 highest earners were paid 40 times the salary of a rookie nurse or police officer.

Figures compiled by the TaxPayers' Alliance showed there were three seven-figure pay packages and 60 more individuals picking up �250,000 or more a year.

And they showed that the top dozen earners in the NHS were getting an average �183,000 a year each - nearly 10 times the starting salary for a nurse.

The Alliance added together details of salary, bonuses, incentive plans, benefits-in-kind and, in certain cases, pension contributions as recorded in official publications.

Top of the rich list was Bob Kiley, who was paid �1,146,425 as Mayor of London Ken Livingstone's transport supremo.

He received a unprecedented public sector settlement worth nearly �2 million when he quit the post in January and remained a �3,200-a-day consultant."
