The coalition, bless it, has published a list of the highest paid civil servants in the UK.
And Lo! it does say:
Dr Mike Mitchell - Head of National Networks - DfT - £200,000 - £204,999
Mere baubles against Sir Moir's £609,000 last year, but more than enough for a few meals in East Coast dining cars (if there are still any running).
And a full £40k more than DafT's Permanent Secretary trousered!
Clearly Dr Death's salary has also kept pace with inflation - why less than five years ago the Daily Telegraph said he earned a mere £150k a year.
No matter.
Eye salutes a wise and well respected figure, who leads the industry from the front with great pots of cash (shurely 'great charisma'? Ed).
