John Swinney has awarded his ministers a near £20,000 wage rise but has turned down the pay bump himself to avoid the perception he is "benefiting" from his own decisions. Scotland's first minister lifted the salary freeze - which was introduced by former SNP leader Alex Salmond in 2009 - to coincide with the start of the new tax year. All ministers will receive £19,126 extra from this month, taking the salary of a cabinet secretary to £116,125 and a junior minister to £100,575.
