Ofgem

[sir.prize]

Ofgem is meant to keep a check on gas and electricity prices, but the average dual fuel bill is now a staggering £1,310 a year.

And while families struggle to keep their heads above water, officials have awarded themselves £1.12million of taxpayers’ cash.

Good innit!

// The official figures reveal a total of £602,969 was dished out to 266 staff in 2010, at an average of £2,267 per person, while last year 346 employees shared a bonus pot of £515,047, at an average of £1,489.

Two members of staff received more than £20,000 in 2010, 14 got more than £10,000 across 2010 and 2011, and 38 pocketed more than £5,000 over the two years. //

And furthermore - "Just over £500,000 from our overall salary budget last year was shared among Ofgem staff according to their performance."

sorry Gromit, but the Tories are trying to do something about it, while Tony, Gordon & Mandy did nowt for years...

Ofgem have paid £1million in bonuses since the Tories came to power.

You can only claim this is an improvement on Labour if you have evidence the bonus bill was higher prior to 2010. If you do not have that proof, then your statement is wrong.
