Conservative cabinet members will continue to receive their £12,565 special responsibility allowance on top of their £8,376 basic allowance (not bad for a part time job, eh?) whilst the more modest £2,456 special responsibility allowance paid to shadow cabinet members has been abolished. The special responsibility allowance for the Chairs of the Planning & Regulation, Audit & governance and Pension Fund committees will increase from £2,729 to £5,050 and the Deputy Chair of the Planning & Regulation committee will be paid a new special responsibility allowance of £2,729. They are all Conservative councillors.
