Grayâs salaryBBC UK
•Keir Starmer's top aide Sue Gray paid more than the PM
77% Informative
Sue Gray asked for and was given a salary of Â170,000 - Â3,000 more than the PM and more than any cabinet minister or her Conservative predecessor.
The decision has ignited a row within government over Gray 's pay.
Gray's salary has sparked such a row partly because other advisers believe they are being underpaid.
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak rejected proposals for increases because they were seen as indefensible.
Those in government now argue the pay of special advisers had become well out of step with others in Whitehall .
Others still think Sue Gray's pay is excessive.
Cabinet Office says it is false to suggest that political appointees have made any decisions on their own pay bands.
