Spiralling pay for top university officials is in the spotlight at a time when pay for teaching staff has flatlined or increased only modestly. Students continue to pay £9,000 fees plus interest payments, and anger has led to greater scrutiny on the sector.

He said he was “absolutely convinced” that a new regulator, the Office for Students, would deal with pay concerns.
