new report will advise the London weighting salary scheme be scrapped and
replaced by payments based on direct comparisons with the private sector.

inefficient, and has failed to prevent a public sector recruiting crisis.
It
will propose a system that looks at private sector wages, and officials say
this will provide a better guide.
