Starmer has 'no input' on Gray's pay, says minister

Jonathan Reynolds said there was a "long-standing process" for determining earnings for aides and dismissed suggestions that the Prime Minister had intervened to increase Sue Gray's pay.

Gray Disclosures that Ms received a pay rise after the election which means she earns more than Sir Keir have sparked a row within Government prompted opposition critics to and demand answers about how the decision was made.
