Hilton, who left Downing Street last week, is reported to have proposed that 90% of the work done by civil servants could be outsourced to thinktanks, charities and private companies.

On Saturday, the shadow cabinet office minister, Gareth Thomas, said the government was in danger of losing any remaining goodwill and appeared to be "waging war on the pay of hard-working, often lowly paid, public servants".

A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: "We don't comment on leaks. In the civil service, pay is usually set on a 'one size fits all' basis at a national level, whereas in the private sector pay is set in accordance with local labour markets. This means civil servants are often paid more than private sector workers in similar jobs in the same area, which has the potential to hurt private sector businesses."

一张有关英国公务员的秘密“薪酬地图”近日遭到泄露，英国首相大卫-卡梅伦很可能因此和同僚们把关系搞僵。

这张“地图”将英国43.4万名公务员按任职地理位置归入四大“付薪地区”：西南区、南部沿海区、威尔士区、以及中西部大部分地区和薪水最低的东北区。伦敦附近的公务员收入最高，排在之后的是从布里斯托尔到泰晤士河口这一走廊地带的公务员，以及曼彻斯特和伯明翰等薪酬“热点地区”的公务员。

在合益私人顾问集团的协助下，英国内阁办公室的“奖励、效率和改革小组”已制定出未来三年的“地区薪酬支付地图”，该地图将构成公务员薪酬支付的基础。据称，按照部长们制定的预算，东北区的公务员薪酬水平比英国平均水平低10%，西米德兰郡要低6%，约克郡和亨伯地区要低7%。
