An Offensive Package Of Pay And Bonuses

Defence Secretary Liam Fox revealed that a businessman was hired in December by the Government to tackle the waste and inefficiency at the Ministry of Defence.
Bernard Gray has been given the title Chief of Defence Material and is paid £220,000 a year in salary and as much as £30,000 in bonuses.
It is outrageous that the Ministry of Defence have hired a civil servant on such an offensive and obscene package of pay and bonuses, especially at a time when the Government is making massive cuts to our Armed Forces.
Is there nobody already employed by the Government, one of the Eton boys perhaps, that is capable or intelligent enough to do this job?
