A Labour peer has called for customers to have the final say on whether water company bosses deserve to take home their lofty pay packets. Lord Sikka's controversial vision for overhauling executive pay would see the public given powers to strip water company bosses of their basic salaries and block their bonuses. Sikka - who lists his hobbies as "afflicting the comfortable and tormenting dinosaurs" in his publicly-available 80-page CV - suggests that his unconventional proposal would incentivise water company bosses to prioritise customer service and improve environmental performance.
