The names of 170 civil servants earning over £150,000 were revealed this week, as part of David Cameron’s drive to make government more transparent. Among the disclosures was the salary of McCarthy, director general of housing and planning in the communities department, who earns between £175,000 and £179,999.
Other figures included:
