A NSW Parliamentary inquiry hears the wife of former icare chief executive John Nagle was paid $750 a day after being awarded a contract without a tender.

NSW Labor Party President Mark Lennon defended not moving to sack John Nagle for failing to disclose the conflict to board members.

Mr Lennon dodged questions about whether he had resigned recently after being pressured to do so by the State Opposition leader or staff in her office.
