Mr. Hamilton Goulding:

Yes, this is the chief executive. The fact was that this was not known to a lot of the members. Indeed, as soon as I found it out, it shocked me quite severely. I had thought his level of pay would probably be about half what it turned out to be. As soon as I discovered it, I set in train some action to have it reviewed. Eventually the end of that process led to his departure.
