The Local Government Association (LGA) is to look into the scale of the burden of members having to sign off salary packages worth more than £100,000.

Guidance issued in 2012 under section 40 of the Localism Act 2012 requires that full council, or a meeting of members, be offered the opportunity to vote before salary packages of £100,000 or more are offered in respect of a fresh appointment.
