There is precedent. Strangely, nobody seems to carp about many of our elected representatives having similar arrangements and this may explain why there have been no great rumblings from politicians. Public-sector employees may supplement their income by working in the private sector but, as in the case of hospital doctors, this is permitted at the cost to the individual employee of a pro-rata reduction in the NHS salary. A similar formula could be applied to Ms Wilson's salary.
