It's not being published under the new Gvt's transparency agenda though is it Steve, it's the law under Regulation 4 of the Accounts and Audit (Amendment Number 2) (England) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 3322) which introduced a legal requirement for reporting remuneration of senior employees.
As I understand it we have to publish the following:
individual data on all senior employees earning more than £150,000 by job title and name
individual data on all senior employees earnings between £50,000 and £150,000 by job title only
banded data on all other employees earning over £50,000.
The ICO guidance quoted in those articles fails to acknowledge that this requirement is now in place, but that could be selective cutting and pasting on behalf of that website. I'm sure if you asked the ICO they would quote the Accounts and Audit (Amendment Number 2) (England) Regulations at you to say you have to release those names over £150k now.
We are already publishing names of those earning above £150k as required by this law. p47 of http://www.leicester.gov.uk/accounts/Draft%20Statement%20of%20Accounts%202009-10.pdf
