Minister defends salaries
The policy and reform minister says he's trying to dispel myths about 'fat cat' civil servants.
John Shimmin was speaking during a discussion about public sector pensions.
He says just seven civil servants, excluding consultants, are paid a salary of more than £100,000, while the vast majority earn under £35,000:
