The head of the House of Commons received an extraordinary package worth three quarters of a million pounds last year.
Tom Goldsmith's remuneration came in at £750-£755,000 in 2024-25, largely thanks to a huge pension boost.
The Clerk of the House is the chief administrator and procedural adviser to MPs and Speaker Lindsay Hoyle.
Mr Goldsmith took on the role in October 2023, with the latest accounts showing his salary last year was between £225,000 and £230,000.
He also received a 'benefit in kind' worth £21,000 - the estimated value for his grace-and-favour residence at Parliament.
