The party made the announcement at its spring conference, where David Cameron criticised the Ofcom chief executive, Ed Richards, for earning "over £400,000 a year". The Tories said that anybody earning more than the Prime Minister, who currently has a salary of £194,250, would have to justify their pay in person to the Chancellor.
