High Court judges lined up for 32 PER CENT pay rise in blow to millions of public workers

udges could be in line for a £60,000 pay rise, it emerged today in a move which would spark fury among public sector workers.

A newspaper obtained an experts' report recommending High Court judges should receive a 32% salary hike - taking it from 181,500-a-year to £240,000.

The report by the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) has not yet been made public and the government can reject its recommendations.

But if enacted it would hand the nation's 97 high court judges an increase of more than £1,100 a week.
