Pembs chief Bryn Parry-Jones's work car was £90k Porsche | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A former council chief at the centre of a row over cash payments made in lieu of pension contributions was given a luxury Porsche lease car as his work vehicle, BBC Wales has learned. | |
Pembrokeshire council confirmed Bryn Parry-Jones was given the car, after refusing to disclose the information at the BBC's request for eight months. | |
The hybrid electric Porsche Panamera he used retails for around £90,000. | |
Mr Parry-Jones got a £330,000 severance deal after quitting his job in October. | |
The former chief executive left his post on 31 October. | |
He came under pressure to resign from his post after it was revealed he received cash payments in lieu of pension contributions, which the Wales Audit Office said were unlawful. | |
Police inquiries into the payments were dropped after no evidence was found of criminal offences. | |
In July, Pembrokeshire council said it would take no further action to reclaim the money from him or another unnamed senior officer involved in a similar arrangement. | |
Mr Parry-Jones was the highest paid council chief executive in Wales with a salary of almost £195,000 plus benefits. |
