It's one thing to know that a particular agency is spending £250,000 on the salaries of 10 officials. It's another thing to know what each of those 10 individuals brings home.

I wonder if they'd be so keen if they get back in power? Personal privacy certainly has a place. It’s one thing to know that a particular agency is spending £250,000 on the salaries of 10 officials.
