@Photo55 Sorry I don't buy this in this case.If you're earning at that level you need to provide a full tax return to HMRC, you probably have an accountant, you are on a personal contract with the University and therefore make a case for your pay increase each year outwith collective bargaining. Not knowing your salary to within 10k is preposterous.Whether or not you know on a day-to-day basis, if you're going to a parliamentary inquiry about the finances of your institution, you should be prepared to answer that kind of question.Video here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t1pGy52JPoo
