BBC News - We will 'get tough' on excessive boardroom pay - Clegg
Sounds like a vote winning policy to me. Lib Lab coalition next time around?
The government is to publish new proposals to curb "unjustified and irresponsible" pay rewards in the private sector, Nick Clegg has said.
The deputy prime minister said ministers would announce plans to "get tough" on excessive boardroom pay in January and may legislate if necessary.
Among likely steps is widening the membership of remuneration committees, which set pay, to include workers.
Recent figures showed executive pay at the UK's top firms rose 50% last year.
