Fat cats in the dock

Article Abstract:

The salaries of the heads of privatized public utilities were made public by the Labor Party. The public is outraged. Prime Min John Major has done nothing to legislate the salary abuses. Labor's Gordon Brown while being outspoken on the big salaries, remains quiet for now on the collapse of Barings Bank.

Maastricken Hurd

Article Abstract:

Hurd has been a major Tory political force for twenty years, a cabinet member since 1982, and Foreign Secretary since 1989. His early policy triumphs have been obscured by his strong support for the Maastricht Treaty and his cautious stance against UK intervention in Bosnia.

Article Abstract:

Lamont, Chancellor of the Exchequer, lacks political stature and public support and is said to be a rude carouser. Prime Minister John Major is nonetheless indebted to Lamont for his strong campaigning skills and will probably not replace him.
