Councillor Evemy as Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance presented the report on behalf of the Leader, Councillor Joe Harris, and made the following points:

- The publication requirements for pay and benefits were noted within the report.
- The pay differential looked at the highest paid officer and the median paid officer which was noted as being a ratio of 2.91.
- The Pay Policy Statement accounted for the Publica transition being finalised and may need to be revised to reflect any changes to the senior management structure.
Councillor Evemy proposed the recommendations and Councillor Dale seconded.
