However, it appears that his orders have been ignored and that some bigwigs are still being paid by personal service companies.
The Telegraph reports that a chief executive and finance director employed by the Department of Transport are still being paid via personal services companies.
One of them is Michael Holden, chief executive of Directly Operated Rail,
which runs the Government-owned East Coast rail franchise.The daily rate for his company, Coledale
Consulting, is between £1,100 and £1,199 per day – with payments of more
than £200,000 last year.
Another is David Walker, the finance director, who is being paid through his
company Sibiu Ventures at a rate of £700 to £799 per day – with payments of
more than £150,000 last year.
Tax does have to be taxing.

Corrupt is the right word.
Not sure why keeping him off the payroll is bad as it saves the DoT (and hence us) about £46,000pa Employers NIC. They are then responsible for paying tax on their company profits so HMRC get their piece of the pie.
